/proc or ps tools bug? 2.6.3, time is off

[David Ford]

Kernel 2.6.3, procps 3.2.0

# while [ 1 ]; do (ps aux|grep "grep ps aux" && date) ; sleep 1; done
root     20043  0.0  0.0  1504  456 pts/0    R    20:45   0:00 grep grep 
ps aux
Tue Feb 24 20:45:25 EST 2004
root     20062  0.0  0.0  1504  460 pts/0    S    20:45   0:00 grep grep 
ps aux
Tue Feb 24 20:45:26 EST 2004
root     20081  0.0  0.0  1504  460 pts/0    S    20:46   0:00 grep grep 
ps aux
Tue Feb 24 20:45:27 EST 2004

Note the change in the timestamp as reported by 'ps' v.s. the time 
reported by 'date'.

Repeatable every time at 26 seconds after the minute +/- a portion of a 
second.
