Hmm.. but it seems this breaks my 'perf stat -g' - it doesn't
respond any more (even for ^C):

  namhyung@sejong:perf$ ./perf stat -g sleep 1
  ^C^C^C^C^\Quit (core dumped)

  namhyung@sejong:perf$ gdb ./perf core.11964
  [SNIP]
  Core was generated by `./perf stat -g sleep 1'.
  Program terminated with signal 3, Quit.

In fact, my perf stat -g was already broken - it cannot count at
all on my SNB box. I'll investigate it more.

Any thoughts?
