Obviously this has not been tested with 2.5.x. Keep in mind
that this is a development (unstable) kernel. 

The problem is not in the kernel but in pfmon. The routine
that retrieves the current CPU is bogus. From 2.4.x to 2.5.x
the content of /proc/pid/stat has changed and this exposed
a bug in pfmon/pfmon_util.c:find_cpu(). The thread is indeed
running on the right CPU. 

You can apply the attached patch to pfmon-1.1 to fix 
the problem with pfmon. Note that this fix works for both
2.4.x and 2.5.x

Thanks for finding this problem.
