Package: sysstat Version: 11.6.0-1 Since recent versions (11.5.7) due to [1] output contains spurious 0 bytes after percentage values. I opened an upstream Issue [2] and PR [3] to fix.
If not picking it up via a merge anyway please consider picking up the outcome of the PR discussion. Repro: Run something that writes percentages and redirect to a File: $ pidstat 2 3 > test.log Then check that file with vim (see '@' as special char) or in the hex editor of your choice.
