[Xymon] Small oddity - specifying max number of processes but no minimum.

I have a process named "foo". It is ok if there are zero instances of
this process running, or one or more. I want to alert when there are
more than three instances.

If I put in analysis.cfg:

PROC  foo  -1 3 yellow

and there are no foo processes, the procs page shows:
          green foo (found 0, req. 1 or more)

Color is correct, message is inaccurate
Then if I have more than three I see:

yellow foo  (found 11, req. 1 or more)

So I think the test is correct but the message is confusing.

also it's not explicitly documented that you can use -1 to mean "no minimum"

(server and client are 4.3.7)
