proc.num seems not to work

[Tractorboy]

I am trying to monitoring the number of processes running for a specific windows user

proc.num[,user] and get a 9 returned. the number of process on the server for this user is in excess of 100.

proc.num[] itself is returning <100 where the server is show > 250


what am I missing?

I have set the agent to debug level 4 and can see

2328:20110711:130806.386 Requested [proc.num[]]
2328:20110711:130806.386 Sending back [94]

this is suggesting the agent has issues, is that fair?

Its resolved

Suddenly without any changes its started to return values that are much more reasonable.

The its the oddest thing I have seen.
