+ ps(1)'s options '-a' and '-A', when combined with any other one
+ affecting the selection of processes except for '-X' and '-x', would
+ have no effect, in contradiction with the rule that one process is
+ listed as soon as any of the specified options selects it (inclusive
+ OR), which is both mandated by POSIX and arguably a natural expectation.
+ This bug has been fixed.
+
+ As a practical consequence, specifying '-a'/'-A' now causes all
+ processes to be listed regardless of other selection options (except for
+ '-X' and '-x', which still apply). In particular, to list only
+ processes from specific jails, one must not use '-a' with '-J'. Option
+ '-J', contrary to its apparent initial intent, never worked as a filter
+ in practice (except by accident with '-a' due to the bug), but instead
+ as any other selection options (e.g., '-U', '-p', '-G', etc.) subject to
+ the "inclusive OR" rule.
