8.0RC2 "top" statistics seem broken

Check out r197652 on stable/7.  I had a similar problem where top was
showing 0% for a CPU hog, but since I was unable to replicate it on
CURRENT (and the ULE accounting code is different between releases) I
only submitted for stable/7.  I think the patch will be easy to apply by
hand, though, to test it.
