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).
