Hi list,
Enabling the fast proc scan code for linux2.4 causes top
to display strange numbers [see:possible bug in proc fast scan code]

the reason for this is that the last char in proc/$$/stat is "\n".
This is no problem for > 2.4 since the stats line contains additional chars.

Please be aware that the current code does NOT stop at \0 !  adding more
tokens to read will cause the code to read beyond \0 !

i also killed the variable c what saves 1 byte.
