------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
The code appears to be trying to find information about the number of
CPUS, the fails completely trying to find the L1 cache size
It would seem sensible to me the authors change the code so it does not
break if it can't get the information it needs.
However, in the case of HP-UX, I can give them access to the box, but even
then you could get another Unix system where you don't know what CPUs it
has, or the cache size. In which case assume something sensible
