A tentative fix would be to instead count the number of lines

There's been a bug filed about this exact issue on the sourceforge
page for some time, but I'd not thought to look at it.
This solution will work on x86, but I'll check and see what the most portable
way to get it on every linux architecture is. I know counting 'processor'
in /proc/cpuinfo won't work on linux sparc, so I'll check other archs
as well and get a good fix.
I've done a bit more digging around, and it doesn't seem like much
fun to try to parse /proc/cpuinfo in a portable way.
*However*, it turns out glibc already does this!
sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF) should work on x86, sparc, alpha, mips
and, probably, ia64.
add cygwin to the list
