I meant "date" used a 24-hour format (depending on the locale),
but "ps" always uses a 12-hour format (irrespective of locale).

It turns out that the ps field "lstart" gives a date and time in
the local time format, but the field "start" (as used by "ps -u")
is hard-coded to use one particular format, presumably to ensure
that the field width remains consistent.

It seems fairly trivial to change the time format used by the
"start" field to use a 24-hour time format, and I would suggest
that it should, given that en_US and C locales both use 24-hour
time.

I'll file a separate bug for this.
