I have just freshly installed Fedora 9, and the 'top' command gives me following output:


  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND

As you can see, at this particular time incident, the yum process consumes
101.0 percent of CPU. This must be an error. Is it?

Also, I've never noticed this before, I therefor think this is introduced with
F9 or F8 (I used F7 until today).
