Hm, got a segfault with a plain 'perf top' on a 3.0-0.rc7.git3-ish 
box:

 ./perf top
 Segmentation fault (core dumped)

It took about 20 attempts to reproduce the segfault, and it always 
occured right after the first refresh (which, unlike the working 
cases showed zero samples):

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

The tree i pulled was 18eaf0b8e60a.

Btw., a side note: could we try to reset the console on segfaults and 
similar crashes? TUI crashes tend to leave the console in a messed up 
(blue, etc.) state.

Thanks,
