If numa-domains is used with num-places count, sometimes the function
could create more places than requested and crash. This depended on the
content of /sys/devices/system/node/online file, e.g. if the file
contains
0-1,16-17
and all NUMA nodes contain at least one CPU in the cpuset of the program,
then numa_domains(2) or numa_domains(4) (or 5+) work fine while
numa_domains(1) or numa_domains(3) misbehave. I.e. the function was able
to stop after reaching limit on the , separators (or trivially at the end),
but not within in the ranges.
