R help - Nov 2011 - nproc parameter in efpFunctional

Hello all,
could anyone explain the exact meaning of parameter nproc? Why different
values of nproc give so different critical values, i.e.

meanL2BB$computeCritval(0.05,nproc=3)
[1] 0.9984853
meanL2BB$computeCritval(0.05,nproc=1)
[1] 0.4594827

The strucchange-package description gives "integer specifying for which
number of processes Brownian motions should be simulated" - do I need
nproc-dimensional Brownian bridge?

Thank you in advance!
Julia

Yes, see the 2006 CSDA paper, especially pages 2998/9.
