I feel sad and sorry for you to still use a 2.4 kernel (and no,
PowerTOP will not be useful at all); you're missing out on a whole lot
of good stuff ...
But yes, PowerTOP should not crash, so I'll fix it to make sure it
doesn't.... (probably not quite in the way you did; it should just be
more robust, independent of the actual kernel version)
thanks for the report though...
