PROC mincount maxcount default

Running Xymon 4.2.3 on RHEL5 and noticed that when listing a process in
hobbit-clients.cfg like this:
PROC sshd yellow 

I assumed, based on the man page that the defaults would be mincount 1
and maxcount -1 so the entry would be interpreted as:
PROC sshd 1 -1 yellow

But on the proc webpage it shows up as:
 sshd (found 3, req. none)

To actually get it to require at least 1, I have to explicitly list the
process in hobbit-clients.cfg like this:
PROC sshd 1 -1 yellow

Is this expected behavior?  Maybe I am misinterpreting the man page?
