False Process Down Alerts

It looks like two instances of the client are writing to the file at the same time or almost ;)

  Subject: [hobbit] False Process Down Alerts


  I'm run into a strange problem with my Xymon server. I noticed today that I'm receiving random false alerts for processes being down. When I look at the process list output in the alert it looks as if the data coming from the clients isn't correct. Here is an example. Has anyone seen anything like this?
