rootkit? or false positive?

installed chkrootkit from Universe today and ran it. This is a 1 week old install, and my only packages are from the Ubuntu+Universe. Here is my output...

Checking `lkm'... You have 14 process hidden for readdir command
You have 14 process hidden for ps command
Warning: Possible LKM Trojan installed

^^^^

I did some googling on this topic and I saw things from "Sky is falling, disconnect now!!@@!11one" posts to

"your distro may be running apps that does this on purpose.

I would like to know if anyone knows the scoop on this, or if I may actually have a hacked ps binary.

Thanks in advance
