top CPU percentage off by factor of 100 on 1st iteration



Package:  procps
Version:  1:2.0.6-6

The CPU state summary for top reports percentage use values which appear
to be off by a factor of 100 on the first iteration of an iterative
'top' session, or if run in one iteration in batch mode.  In the example
below, the actaul values should be closer to 8% user, 12% system, and
80% nice.

This is on a single CPU i386/Woody system.
