I ran 'unhide sys' five times with odd

whether 'unhide' reports mismatches but does not account well for the
unix scheduler and the finite nature of time division. (A process
might be declared by unhide as 'hidden' when, in between of two lines
of 'unhide' code, the scheduler terminates a process.)
I wouldn't worry about it, particularly on a VM that kind of check is
going to be so racey you'll get false positives.
Unless one of the other checks has turned something up, I don't think
you have an issue.
