Unfortunately, I don't have a solution for you, but I can verify that I have
been using gkrellm from Debian sid just fine on an SMP box at work.  The
difference, though, is that the system is all Sid, whereas your system is
Sarge + gkrellm from Sid.

I would suggest you disable all of the monitors and turn each back on until it
breaks.  In my setup, I monitor both CPUs, proc load, temps, and two file
systems.  I use a different program (wmnd) to monitor eth0.
