i3status-2.12's cpu_usage displays 100% all the time

[Manolis Tzanidakis]

Hello,
after the latest update of i3status to 1.12, the cpu_load module is always at
100% and red. Reverting to 2.11p6 fixes the problem.

My .i3status.conf is pretty standard:

order += "cpu_usage"
cpu_usage {
        format = "cpu: %usage"
}

Anyone else noticed this problem?

Best,
Manolis
