Error: /proc/self/status is larger than expected

[Aki Tuomi]

Hi!

This requires a code change, which is currently in progress. It does require you to patch Dovecot yourself if you want to use it, once it's ready.

Every binary throws out that error, every LMTP delivery... basically every time any dovecot binary is executed. I am unsure if this is configuration related or not, but intuition says it is an issue with a kernel feature or compiler issue.

Below and excerpt of a few lines of logs. Since I don't know what specifically this would relate to (and I don't quite remember the command to send the "safe" version of the configuration), I am sending this message in hopes that whatever is needed can be asked and I will provide it.
