with my kernel (perhaps because i have CONFIG_NR_CPUS=4) i see this:

% cat /sys/devices/system/node/node0/cpumap
1

that "1\n" string isn't parsed properly by numa_parse_bitmap... as a
result the --cpunodebind option doesn't work.  this patch hacks around it.
not sure if it's the correct fix or not.
