The snprintf function returns number of printed characters even if it
cross the size parameter. So passing enough events via '-e' parameter
will cause segmentation fault.
It's reproduced by following command:
perf top -e `perf list | grep Tracepoint | awk -F'[' '\
{gsub(/[[:space:]]+/,"",$1);array[FNR]=$1}END{outputs=array[1];\
for (i=2;i<=FNR;i++){ outputs=outputs "," array[i];};print outputs}'`
Attached patch is adding SNPRINTF macro that provides the overflow check
and returns actuall number of printed characters.

Disabled by default as there are features found in the stdio based one
that aren't implemented, like live annotation, filtering knobs data
entry.
Annotation hopefully will get somehow merged with the 'perf annotate'
code.
To use it:
perf top --tui
