lscpu crashed with SIGFPE in read_topology()

[asiweb]

when I run in the terminal lscpu gives me an error "floating point exception (`core 'generated)"

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

For anyone who can trigger this (doesn't happen for me); I'd be interested in the output of:

cat /proc/cpuinfo
lshw -c cpu
find /sys/devices/system/cpu
ulimit -a

Looking at the backtrace I can see:
 nnodes = 0, nodemaps = 0x0, nbooks = 0, bookmaps = 0x0, nsockets = 0, socketmaps = 0x0, ncores = 0, coremaps = 0x0, nthreads = 2, ncaches = 0, caches = 0x0

Why it thinks that ncores = 0 I can't tell however!

I can see however that current util-linux git has:

commit d4bfa64d44e0515c59e5274d2384dedd9f9d4cc8

    lscpu: make read_topology() more robust to avoid SIGFPE

which basically guards everything to make sure it's at least 1.

So I think we should just update our util-linux
