This tripped me up recently too, but i found i needed a different
patch:

+    name=`echo $1 | cut -d\  -f1`
     name=${name%% *}
- -    rest=`echo "$1" | cut -c18- `
+    rest=`echo $1 | cut -d\  -f2-`
     read id mem cpu vcpu state tm < <(echo "$rest")
 }

note that i stripped out the quotes around $1, which lets echo dispose
of runs of contiguous spaces.  once the contiguous spaces are
collapsed, cutting fieldwise works fine.
