Title:
  pgrep ignores last character of some processes

Status in “procps” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm using Ubuntu 13.10 dev with procps 1:3.3.3-2ubuntu5 and on some
  processes pgrep is ignoring the last character. For exmple if I want
  to get the pid of /usr/lib/firefox/plugin-container with "pgrep
  plugin-container" nothing is returned. But deleting the last character
  as "pgrep plugin-containe" works fine. Not all processes are affected
  by this behavior (maybe it has something to do with the length of the
  process name).
