[PLUG] Why is grep truncating output?

I'm using RedHat Linux 7.3 with 2.4.18-3 kernel. When I do ps -ef | grep ' '
(or grep for other things) it truncates the output to 80 columns (and grep
doesn't match stuff beyond the 80th column either).
If I do set | grep ' ' the output is not truncated.
If I grep a file (grep ' ' .bash_history) I don't get truncated output.
Can someone explain what's going on and how to fix this?
Thanks!
Scott
