"ps aux" not displaying memory values



I've got a low-priority question that's probably due to some snafu on my 
part. 

For a while now since upgrading to 3.2, I've noticed that "ps aux" shows 0.0 
in the "%MEM" column for every single running program. Obviously, that's not 
correct, especially since top gives me decent memory numbers, and the "VSZ" 
and "RSS" values in ps are still showing up. 

I can't say precisely if this occured after upgrading or if it's more 
recent; I noticed maybe two months ago, and I upgraded over four months 
back. Obviously, it's not hurting my system too badly...but I'd like to know 
why this is happening, so I can correct whatever's wrong. 

Thanks,
Alex Kirk
