Title: Procps > 3.0 produces no output

I have a custom ssh client that I use to connect to a redhat WS 3.0 server.   When I run top -n 1 -d 2 > out.txt  the output file is blank and I get no error output.  The command comes back very quickly so I don't even think it is running.  If I downgrade procps to 2.x then the problem goes away.

Telnet does not show this behavior.  I figure it is something with the shell/terminal but don't have a clue.  Any seen anything like this?
