postgres memeoy percent total incorrect

[Gonzalez, Victoria]

Hi all,

After deploying the latest monit on a Linux test server (2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP) we noticed that monit was reporting the process postgres's memory percent total well over 100%. The following is the most current report, but the percent has been over 600% at times. Also another process being monitoring is showing the expected percentage.

Question is has anyone else run into this problem before, if so how did you resolve it? If not is there a way to check if a bug has been reported or not? 

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or help.

I am including what a monit status  reports via the command line for postgres and the server itself.
