Check whether the value in TIME+ column changes in the "htop" output.

Attach to the process with "strace -f -p PID"[1] and see whether it
does anything.

[1] htop has "s" keyboard shortcut to trace processes, but it doesn't
     give the "-f" option so that all process' threads would be tracked.
     Upstream "htop" seems to have a bug about this:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2987532&group_id=108839&atid=651635


(htop and strace are both available from the SDK tools repo.)

If you check this, please tell whether it's (fully) fixed now. :-)
