top problems

[Stephen Reindl]

Hi,

please see 

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=109484

for details and a patch for those who might need a quick solution.

The difference between the 2.4 and 2.6 kernels are that 2.6 is returning
more information about system statuses in /proc. The information is not
available in 2.4 and therefore not returned when reading from
/proc/stat.

The problem in top is: uninitialized variables of the values to be read.
The second patch in the issue above initializes the values before use.
