Hallo List,

The BK tree of today changed the data returned in /proc/stat.
A 'vmstat -n 10' immediatly segfaults after reading ...

open("/proc/stat", O_RDONLY) = 6
read(6, "cpu 404408 506514 8240 154301 1"..., 4095) = 714
close(6) = 0
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) ---
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++

I'll try to prove a diff between 2.4.18 and BK current later
this evening ...

cheers,
Patrick
