Package: powertop
Version: 1.11-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch upstream

powertop 1.11 crashes after first displaing the list of processes with 
segmentation fault.

I have also tested upstream versions:

http://www.lesswatts.org/projects/powertop/download/powertop-1.12.tar.gz -> 
also crashes
http://www.lesswatts.org/projects/powertop/download/powertop-1.13.tar.gz -> 
works fine

Here is the output of gdb backtrace when the powertop source was downloaded 
with "apt-get source powertop" and recompiled in order to include debug symbols:
