Thanks for the clearance, but this behaviour is very ... unexpected.

ps ax | grep 0:00 xyz

is clear that the second parameter is meant to be interpreted as 
filename, otherwise it should read

ps ax | grep '0:00 xyz'

But I was not expecting "." instead of "-" when option -r is in use. 
Maybe this could be added in the man page.

Kind regards,
