Before I apply this first patch I can run, as root, the 'perf test' JSON
lint 100 times without problems:

[root@...co ~]# for a in $(seq 100) ; do echo -n $a ; perf test 98 ; done
1 98: perf stat JSON output linter                                    : Ok
2 98: perf stat JSON output linter                                    : Ok
3 98: perf stat JSON output linter                                    : Ok

99 98: perf stat JSON output linter                                    : Ok
100 98: perf stat JSON output linter                                    : Ok
[root@...co ~]#

After applying it it fails seemingly randomly, I'll remove both patches
from my tmp.perf/core branch and investigate.
