Bug Description
I have set the top sampling interval to 60 seconds (just press "d" in top, then enter 60).
Monitoring top reports (try also pressing space after setting new interval, to refresh the top report), I noticed that top is reporting 9999% CPU utilization for a process, which is obviously wrong. This does not happen with regular top intervals of 3 seconds.
Please find a screenshot attached.
