xload strange attitude (bug?)

I have recently upgraded from 1.3.32 to 1.3.71 (libc 5.2.18) and i'm
using the procps-0.99a .

But _sometimes_ (about one time a day), even when my computer is idle,
xload tells me i have an
average load exactly equal to/locked on an integer value (usually 1 or
2). It never happened with 1.3.32 ...

When i run a "top" in order to look after that more seriously, it seems
to unlock my xload, that can then decrease to zero, the normal value when
my computer is idle.

Should xload be modified as ps and top has been ???
