Public bug reported:
Lines 379 - 383 in sysinfo.c have the following code:
if (sscanf(buf, "%lf %lf %lf", &avg_1, &avg_5, &avg_15) < 3) {
fputs("bad data in " LOADAVG_FILE "\n", stderr);
free(savelocale);
exit(1);
}
At random, a program will exit when calling this function. If the
function succeeds the first time, it will succeed in all other attempts
to read /proc/loadavg. The file /proc/loadavg contains 5 numbers so
maybe only the first 3 should be read and the rest should just be
discarded.
