The likely cause is a weak/bad glowplug. If you have 4 out of five working it will start just fine but only run on four cylinders for the first few seconds or so. Like TXBill said I wouldn't worry about it too much but if another glow plug packs it in you may start to have trouble starting it in cold weather. Just keep in mind that Diesels generally aren't smooth runners when they are cold.
