Sorry, didn't think to mention. Both comm and args on Solaris use psinfo_t's
pr_psargs, which is limited to 80 bytes. (comm is just args cut off at the first
white-space character.)

From what i can tell, though, DTrace's execname variable (what `dtruss -n`
matches against) seems to use pr_fname, and that's limited to 16 bytes.
Unfortunately ps's fname output is truncated further to 8 bytes for no apparent
reason, so i guess if you wanted dtruss process-name completion to be
semi-accurate on Solaris you might be better off with something like this?

  ${(@M)${(@)${(f)"$( ps -Ao comm= )"}:t}##?(#c1,16)}
