This sort of thing has pretty much always happened. I believe it is
just down to the designed-in unreliability of the current stats collection
mechanism. We might be able to get rid of it if we go over to
shared-memory stats, but I've yet to look at that patch :-(. In the
meantime I don't see any reason to think that anything's worse here
than it has been for many years.
