John,
pcp-2.5.0 is now almost exactly five years old ... I'd strongly
recommend an upgrade if that is at all possible
Build packages for many platforms for the current 3.4.0 version are
available at
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/pcp/download/
In your specific case there have been multiple commits that I can see in
the open source repository that might address a memory addressing issue
in cpu_name().
