Process Explorer: wrong Working Set value

Sometimes when processes are sorted by Working Set, the top processes is not the one with maximum Working Set value. Comparing Process Explorer readings with those from Task Manager it looks like the Memory values of the hungriest processes are displayed incorrectly. Has anyone noticed that? Or am I missing something here?
