From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 4.0) Using a dual processor configuration with Linux SMP during full processor utilitization, CPU state idle shows negative values in the form '0.-1%' Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run two instances of setiathome so both CPU's are fully utilized 2. Observe CPU0 and CPU1 idle states 3. Actual Results: CPU0 and CPU1 states will mostly show 0.0% idle, but occassionally show 0.-1% idle. Expected Results: Wouldn't expect to see negative idle values, but if such a value is valid, should be -0.1% instead of 0.-1%. top, uptime and ps do not show up in BugZilla's component list, so I posted this under 'mysterious'.
This is no longer an issue with the 2.4.x kernel and Red Hat 7.1
