check procs odd behaviour

[Assaf Flatto]

Hello All

In the last couple of weeks i noticed an odd occurrence in the output of 
the check_procs on my master Nagios server

the default command : check_local_procs  , gives out the following output :
WARNING;PROCS WARNING: 380 processes with STATE = RSZDT

Although when executing the command manually the server shows a 
different output - usually more along the lines like this :

OK;PROCS OK: 78 processes with STATE = RSZDT
I know that the state of the server is not exact when I run the check 
manually and when nagios executes it , but i still feel there is 
something wrong.

Initially i thought that there is something wrong with the command 
definition , but that was rulled out , then i thought it might be a 
problem in the plugin , so i recompiled it and re installed , that did 
not solve the issue .
I Stopped Nagios completely to make sure all nagios<defunct> processes 
are cleared form the process table , but still the issue returns , my 
last idea is to reboot the server ( which I loath to do ) , does anyone 
have encountered a similar issue ?

I am using nagios 3.2.0 from source on SLES 10.3 64bit.
