I ran 'unhide sys' five times with odd

zero and one 'HIDDEN PROCESSES found', which leads me to wonder 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.) The 'unhide' man page is written at too
high a level for this reader. What does one do next in this case??
Try running lsof -p on the hidden process ids.
