Patch Level: 2
Release Status: release

Description:
        The top command does not handle more than 100 cores. I also
attached two screenshots of the issue, one showing the output of the  top
command, and the other of a custom script showing the CPU usage per numa
node (the server has 160 cores).
Here is the ouptu of a top -v :
address@hidden ~]# top -v
top: procps version 3.2.8

I did not try to reproduce on the latest version of top.


Repeat-By:
        Find a pretty cool machine with quite a bunch of cores, and run an
highly parallel program :).
