I'm confused by the different numbers. Please help - I believe this is

When I run it on the 'affected' box:
[root@secirs1<mailto:root@secirs1> plugins]# ./check_procs
PROCS OK: 76 processes
when running from my nagios server:
[root@nagios<mailto:root@nagios>]# /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_procs -m
PROCS 170.94.181.3
PROCS WARNING: 194 processes
and the 'warning email' I get:

Yes, it's an older box, Scientific Linux, but we didn't start getting warning
until this past week. so, I believe the error is fairly new. Load hasn't
changed, as box is mostly idle. Less than 80 processes is the normal state of
this machine.
And, the kicker - it only appears to be this box with the 'off' numbers, but we
have ... several... similarly built boxes that are reporting much more accurate
numbers.
