The top program from
procps 2.0.7 (as distributed with RH 7.3) computes the CPU states wrong
if the machine has multiple CPUs and at least one CPU has more than
2^31-1 idle jiffies. If this CPU has been totally idle since the last
refresh, top will die with a floating point exception, otherwise it will
show a CPU usage of 100%.
The bug is fixed in procps 2.0.11 (RH 9), so we could either just take
the RPM from RH 9, or apply the (rather trivial) patch.
Comments?
