>Description:
When top displays "threads as a count" (without -H switch),
it reports incorrect time for multithreaded processes.
For example:

$ top -H -d1 100 | grep named
  844 bind             44    0 26476K  8168K ucond    2:28  0.00% named
  844 bind             44    0 26476K  8168K select   0:17  0.00% named
  844 bind             44    0 26476K  8168K ucond    0:09  0.00% named
  844 bind             20    0 26476K  8168K sigwai   0:00  0.00% named

So without -H switch top have to report about 2:54 of a time, but...

$ top -d1 100 | grep named
  844 bind               4  44    0 26476K  8168K select   0:17  0.00% named

It seems that in this case top displays time of the first thread only.
