Having a static count of commas seems somewhat error prone, perhaps:
```
const char *header = aggr_header_csv[config->aggr_mode];
if (config->csv_sep == ',' || !strchr(header, ',')) {
  fputs(config->output, header);
} else {
  char *tmp = strdup(header);
  char *p = tmp;
   while (p && *p) {
      if (p == ',')
        *p = config->csv_sep;
     p++;
   }
  fputs(config->output, tmp);
  free(tmp);
}
```
I'm somewhat surprised that we have no metric tests in the stat output
tests like tools/perf/tests/shell/stat+csv_output.sh. Perhaps we can
add the following:
```

It is using the hard coded metrics and it looks like the header
printing for that is broken, but this is so often the case for stat
output :-(

Thanks,
