Possible bug in pgrep (procps)


pgrep from procps-3.2.6-1 when asking for an exact match with arguments seems to
demand an extra space after the argument.
See the following sequence.

No space after the f on the commandline
$ emacs f&
[1] 2072

without extra space
$ pgrep  -x -f "emacs f"

with extra space after f
$ pgrep  -x -f "emacs f "
2072

Bug or my misunderstanding ?
