Last time I tried to do this, I got top-current and started fixing
it. Then I found out that it had even more fatal bugs than completely
bogus value in Idle: field.
If you want to show missbehaviour, try
void
main( void )
{
int i;
for (i=0; i<1000; i++)
system( "echo line >> /tmp/delme" );
}
You need to show 4th value in 'cpu' line in /proc/stat in idle %, not
100-sum of all tasks.
