 I have just aquired an old dual PII, and have compiled the stock SMP
 kernel + patch per PR17800.  My results (with a possible clue to fix)
 are as follows:
 
 1)  Top/vmstat/etc report as normal after reboot
 
 2)  Approximately 20 minutes later, the bug appears and all zeros are
 reported in top.
 
 3)  Using 'date' I run the system clock back a few minutes, and top is
 reporting the (presumably correct) information once again.
 
 4)  Another ~20 minutes pass - and the bug is back, but of course works 
 again after changing the system date!
