powertop crashes at startup with
*** stack smashing detected ***: powertop terminated
The crash is not reproducible with powertop:amd64.
After recompiling powertop to get debug symbols I got the following
backtrace with gdb.:

/proc/7812/cmdline contains exactly 4096 characters (though
process::process appears to read only 4095 of them) and is not
null-terminated. As a result, variable "line" does not contain
sequence of two nulls and cmdline_to_string replaces nulls with spaces
further into stack until it finds such sequence.
As expected, powertop does not crash if there is no process with long
command line.
