profiles - sum of output values changes based on bin size

[ChiWPak]

Hi:
I'm wondering if wiggletools profiles (not profile) uses overlapping bins (rather than non-overlapping bins). Here is some output where I use the same bed file and bigwig file but change the bin size.

wiggletools profiles - 10 ttemp.bed test.bw

The sum of values are 1,007,875 and 187,825.3, respectively. I expected that the sum of values would be the same or similar.
