Jon,

> I can test the proc code if you want.

Here you go (test program is attached).

By default, it will use 10 seconds as the interval, but you can specify any
other interval on the command line (se proctest.se <seconds>).

The program will print out the results of counting processes and will print
one or more '*', signifying the magnitude of the difference, if the results
are different. Since it runs two counting loops sequentially, you might see
some single digit differences, which is normal, but eventually, you should
get the _huge_ difference that demonstrates the problem I've described
earlier.
 
Here is the sample output (I just ran it on my system). Notice the results
at the end.

****************************************

NP - pp.nproc
C1 - pp.index$ process count
C2 - first_proc/next_proc process count

Interval is 10 second(s)
