Just to let you know you are not alone, I have seen some strange |

reporting on gkrellm too. I run folding and it don't always add up just |

right for some reason. I'm not sure how gkrellm works but I assume it |
19 |
reads /proc to figure out what is going on. Maybe it is the way /proc |
20 |
files change or something. |
