here is my first bug report:
[1.] One line summary of the problem:
Wrong entry in file '/proc/stat' causes 'kpm' (from KDE) to crash
[2.] Full description of the problem/report:
After upgrading to 2.2.3-ac1 the process manger 'kpm' from KDE crashed
when started. With 'strace' I found out, that this happens when /proc/stat
is read in. Comparison between /proc/stat revealed that the format of
the 'intr' entry has changed (possibly causing a buffer overflow in kpm).
While 'kpm' should be able to handle this, it appears to me that
the 'intr' entry should not contain so many entries ether. The problem
is still in 2.2.3-ac3.
