>Description:

	ps(1) prints a blank line when no column headers are specified.


>How-To-Repeat:

	With headers:

	ocelot:lecter$ ps -o pid=p -o cpu=c -p 1
	    p   c
	    1   0
	ocelot:lecter$ 


	Without headers:

	ocelot:lecter$ ps -o pid= -o cpu= -p 1
		 
	    1   0
	ocelot:lecter$ 

>Fix:

	Patch below which scans the header list and stops
	printheader() if there are no headers to print.


#
# Verified to apply to:
#   /usr/src/bin/ps/print.c revisions 1.36.2.2 and 1.36.2.3
#
# This patch stops ps(1) from printing a blank line when no/empty
# headers are specified. Apply the patch, then 'make all install' in
# /usr/src/bin/ps.
