There are a few possible explanations:

- You reset the pool's Terminal child at some point. (The pool won't reflect that.)
- You reset one of the other apps in the pool soon after starting the pool. (See above.)
- You had other apps in that pool, too. (Again, removing them won't change the pool's counters.)

I'm guessing the third option here is probably what happened; not sure if you recall the pool's history or not.
