    ok, let's try another issue :

    # ps -G " nobody "
      PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND
    75483 con- S 0:10.97 /usr/local/sbin/junkbuster configfile
    # ps -G ,nobody,
    ps: Invalid (zero-length) group name
    ps: Invalid (zero-length) group name
    # ps -G ,
    ps: Invalid (zero-length) group name
    ps: Invalid (zero-length) group name

    instead of :

    # ps -G " nobody "
      PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND
    75483 co- S 0:10.97 /usr/local/sbin/junkbuster configfile
    # ps -G ,nobody,
      PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND
    75483 co- S 0:10.97 /usr/local/sbin/junkbuster configfile
    # ps -G ,
    psx: no group name or id specified

    why do you make a difference while parsing commas and spaces ?
    in other words, ignore empty values (which may be generated by
    a shell script, so, don't warn), except if all values are empty.
