Step 2: Describe the problem:

Observed Results:

The 'Top Frequency' is read wrong when run as root, causing the frequency graph to be cropped at the upper side where it is most interesting.
The screenshot shows two instances running concommitently on the same machine, the one on the left being called with command sudo s-tui -d and the one on the right with s-tui -d

Step 3: Reproduce the problem:

Steps to reproduce:

1. run s-tui with elevated privileges
2. check Top Frequency
