Can you please resubmit this on top of my perf/core branch? I had
already applied Thomas fix and published perf/core publicly, so I rather
not rebase at this point.

Basically get your current tools/perf/tests/shell/record.sh file, with
this fix, copy it, clone my perf/core branch, copy
tools/perf/tests/shell/record.sh there and commit, then please resubmit
:-)
