Patch for the atrun source

The atrun utility needs the number of CPUs for calculating the load limit. If
the average load is lower than that limit the next pending batch job is
started.

The number of CPUs is retrieved with an call to 'sysctlbyname'. This subroutine
writes the number (which is an integer) to the "ncpu" variable. The variable
ist defined as size_t, which is an unsigned integer but is never initalized. So
the result of this operation is undefined.

The value of ncpu after calling sysctlbyname:
current version: 34359738369
patched version: 1
