I've seen this ... the process is often VERY short lived and very recently, so for some reason early in the initialisation the process start date is messed up. Once the process has been around for a context switch or two it's ok generally. Judging by the process ID's, it was probably the process that started the grep, so it could be something to do with the exec call.
