Same here on some 88 core box (2x22xHyperThread). Right after boot, size of /proc/stat is ~7.5kB, not triggering this bug. This file contains lots of per-cpu-counters increasing over time, while only the first line actually is parsed. Once that file size has increased to >= 8kB, libsigar breaks. |

This bug was discovered when /proc/stat (on a larger 56 core box) exceeded BUFSIZ=8192,
coming from codepath sigar_cpu_get(), causing a \0 to be written
one byte outside what was allocated, causing a segfault.
