I just had the same experience as Lionel on a machine running sarge,
with chkrootkit 0.46a-2bpo1 (from backports.org).

The cron job complained about 1 hidden process, however running 'chkproc
-v -v -p 3' by hand doesn't reveal anything. Without '-p 3' it complains
about mysqld, java, imapproxyd, named and beam (from erlang) being
hidden. Having checked all of them it seems they are just threads of
other processes that chkrootkit knows to ignore when '-p 3' is
specified.

Perhaps we're just seeing the result of a race to read a process'
information from /proc before it exits?
