OK, let me try and fix that!

First, which mpvis? And what sort of system is madcow? Specifically
I am interested in Irix or Linux.

Hmm ... do you have any idea where the "cpu3 cpu3 -2 cpu3" text came from?
mpvis does not normally generate any textual output ... but this may
simply be a symtom of the real problem.
One problem maybe the syntax for the CPU names in the instance domain
on the hp linux system ... the presence of the word "minute" where I'd
be expecting "cpu0" or "cpu1" or ... etc is strange.

In addition to the questions I asked above, it would help to see
the output of:
pminfo -f -h test-103 kernel.percpu.cpu.user
Also the output from:
$ sh `which mpvis` -h test-103
And finally, to fix this will likely require a PCP archive from
test-103. Please run this command:
echo "log mandatory on 2 sec kernel.percpu.cpu" \
| pmlogger -T 10 -h test-103 ken
(it will take 10 seconds to finish) then mail me the THREE files ken.0,
ken.meta and ken.index.
