This matches NetBSD, and also seems to be what linux does. The sentence
which is added to the man page is taken straight from NetBSD.

when copying per-process info before starting to sort the list. This way,
sort-by-CPU or sort-by-memory will only calculate values once-per-process,
instead of twice-per-comparison. Also take advantage of this to simplify
the pscomp() routine.
have no entries to print (either due to an empty directory or an
error). This makes the -l and -s options more consistent, like
Solaris and (Debian) Linux. To make this happen, tweak two
optimizations on the second call to display():
- Don't skip display() altogether, even if list == NULL.
- Don't skip the call to the printfn in display() if we
need to print the total.

instances of 64-bit arithmetic were costing 775 bytes, and the
inlining offered no benefit. Moreover, ambiguity as to the argument
types led to the introduction of a bug (see rev 1.56).
Also, remove some casts that are now clearly redundant.

process id, instead of using pid==0. Ie, `ps -p 12,' and `ps -p ,12'
are now errors (instead of being treated like `ps -p 0 -p 12').

Note that `ps t' is still changed to `ps -T', since that is one of
the main reasons for this kludge processing...

more special situations. This is the code which process `ps blah',
when "blah" does not include a leading '-'.
This change also removes a long-undocumented BACKWARD_COMPATIBILITY
compile-time option, where:
ps -options arg1 arg2
(with no '-' on "arg1" and "arg2") was treated as:
ps -options -N arg1 -M arg2
This also changes `ps' to check for any additional arguments after
processing all the '-'-options, and attempt to use those arguments as
a pid or pidlist. If an extra argument is not a valid pidlist, then
`ps' will print an error and exit. This seems a more generally useful
extension of the kludge-option processing than the -N/-M behavior, and
has fewer confusing side-effects.
