I upgraded procps from 1:2.0.7-8 to 1:3.1.5-1 and the problem disappeared.
Nevertheless, there is still some kid of a bug in libc6 2.3.1-11.
I ran top 1:2.0.7-8 with chroot to check how it works with different
libraries. With ld-linux.so.2 symlinked to ld-2.2.5.so and libc.so.6 symlinked
to libc-2.2.5.so, top 1:2.0.7-8 functioned properly. Then I symlinked
ld-linux.so.2 to ld-2.3.1.so and libc.so.6 to libc-2.3.1.so, and top 1:2.0.7-8
didn't show the first line anymore.
