The crash happens on systems where CPUs are not numbered sequentially starting with 0. Before this fix agent would crash on system.cpu.discovery on both of the following systems:

$ mpstat
 CPU minf mjf xcal  intr ithr  csw icsw migr smtx  srw syscl  usr sys  st idl
   2    5   0    0     5    3   13    0    1    0    0    41    0   0   0 100

$ mpstat

(1) CPU statistics gathering does not work on AIX 6.1

RESOLVED in r55759, please review

<dimir> Thanks! CLOSED

The fix is in file src/zabbix_agent/cpustat.c function get_cpus(). get_cpustat_by_num() can return NULL.

Before this fix:
1. In case CPUs in the system are not named sequentially starting from 0 system.cpu.discovery would crash (so far seen in Solaris zone).
2. The returned value of {#CPU.NUMBER} when executing system.cpu.discovery on Solaris was incorrect.

After this fix:
1. system.cpu.discovery would never crash the agent.
2. The returned value of {#CPU.NUMBER} when executing system.cpu.discovery on Solaris is correct for item prototype.

Fixed in pre-2.4.7 (r55796), pre-3.0.0 (r55797).
