atop died with exit status 53

I was running atop. It was working, but later it died with exit status 53. $ atop $ echo $? 53 Is this a bug in atop? Or is my system failing? ## Pre-emptive extra details :-) I checked in the kernel log (dmesg). I found nothing *specifically* alarming, but there were some errors. See below. This laptop has been used reliably for months now. The kernel is not "tainted", therefore there have been no kernel WARN or OOPS messages.

$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/tainted
0

$ rpm -q atop
atop-2.3.0-10.fc28.x86_64

$ uname -r  # My kernel version
5.1.6-200.fc29.x86_64

dmesg reminded me that I recently woke the computer from sleep, and I started atop before it went to sleep. dmesg also happens shows USB and FAT errors since I lost connection with a poorly-connected USB stick at some point during this. There were some hardware messages during resume from suspend. But I have not had any user-visible problem with sleep/wake, in the past several months. There are also some earlier dmesg errors. ---
