Re: # of instances mismatch

[Michael Newton <kimbrr@xxxxxxx>]

are you saying you *consistently* get this result?
or at least repeatedly?
i havent been able to get the like.

the only mystery here is the zero pid.
Otherwise, if an entry is found in /proc/ for a pid,
but the process has disappeared by the time we try to read
the cmdline, this is exactly what you should expect.
The pid appears in the instance domain, but the metrics other than pid
and psargs have no value.

... but i cant see how you would be getting
a zero pid, unless you have a file matching
/proc/0*[^0-9].* or /proc/.*/task/0*[^0-9].*
..which seems pretty unlikely!
