Title:
  top reports 9999% process CPU utilization

Status in “procps” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have set the top sampling interval to 60 seconds (just press "d" in
  top, then enter 60).

  Monitoring top reports (try also pressing space after setting new
  interval, to refresh the top report), I noticed that top is reporting
  9999% CPU utilization for a process, which is obviously wrong. This
  does not happen with regular top intervals of 3 seconds.

  Please find a screenshot attached.
