On a shared web server I have a strange readings in /proc/loadavg.

# cat /proc/loadavg

2145237816.60 2145245358.02 2145270263.79 10/1409 410568

The load is in fact normal and server is very responsive. The server is a HP ProLiant DL380G5, 2xXeon @2.33 with 16GB.

Part of top output is bellow:

The server seems to work ok, but I am worried this may be a symptom for something worse.
No to mention is breaking all monitoring tools.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

This bug had been fixed in either lve0.8.44 or lve0.8.54 kernel (not 100% sure which one). Please, update your kernel and reboot.
