Are we talking about /sys/kern/kern_clock.c: statclock()? I'm not
familiar with the kernel and that's the only place I find something
related to profiling if I grep for "profil" and look at the results. If
yes, what is to to?

First I thought I have a hardware problem, I was able to profile the
program 4-5 times withhin X11 at a day before. Without changing anything
except the options to the program I wasn't able to profile it later.
