IBM Patent Server

I have been getting some strange results when I use the IBM Patent Server.
I did a search today with the following results:

     478 or 30,996,374 patents matched went to page 2 and
     1,231 of 23,811,205 patents matched went to page 3 and
     1,514 or 30,996,374 patents matched

The change in results and number of patents seems to change dramatically
from search to search and page to page.

Is this a problem at my end or is there something strange going on at IBM?
