This is a Dual-Core, Pentium 840 Extreme Edition, with 4GB of ram.

OK...this seems to be kernel related. Works with 1.1526. This bug is related to bug #169962.
can you install the procinfo-debuginfo rpm, then run this from inside gdb and then type "bt"? That'll give the needed more detailed backtrace.
char loadavg[32]; fgets (line, sizeof (line), loadavgfp); strcpy (loadavg, line); that is just plain bad code and is the most likely cause... but even if not it wants fixing.
Well, I've fixed some stupid things like strcpy() or sprintf() usage. But the rest of the code is still too optimistic and doesn't check return values from things like fgets(), strtok(), ....
