After hibernating-resuming cycle I get strange vmstat output:

===
[pf@spock]:[~][0]% vmstat
procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- -system-- ----cpu----
 r  b   swpd   free   buff  cache   si   so    bi    bo   in   cs us sy id wa
4294967295  0      0 12262312  51716 1016868    0    0    23    25  269  296  
8  1 91  0

As you see 4294967295 is abnormal. Same report came from another user:

There is a problem though, now after hibernate-resume vmstat often displays 
4294967295 (0xFFFFFFFF) as the first value (The number of runnable processes), 
in addition to normal values like 0, 1, etc.. So the kernel gives wrong 
process statistics. (I couldn't catch this bogus value in /proc/stat where it 
supposedly comes from, though. Probably because each time I looked at the file 
the process that I used for this was counted as runnable by the kernel, thus 
resetting the number of runnable processes to zero.)

I definitely don't observe this behaviour before hibernation. And I don't 
remember having this issue at the times of older kernels (3.5? 3.2?) when 
hibernation was usable to me.

How can I help to get that fixed?
