Subject: top displaying 9999% CPU usage
Date: Wed, 3 Oct 2007 14:33:34 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200710031433.34504.elendil@planet.nl> (raw)

I saw top occasionally displaying 9999% CPU usage for a process. The
first few times it was amarokapp, this last time it was kontact.
Both applications were basically idle.
The "cc1" is a kernel compile (rc9 + CFS :-).

I cannot remember seeing this before, but as I also don't run top that
frequently I cannot be sure its a recent regression.
