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

[Elisamuel Resto Donate]

Hi,

At this point I have resorted to add the error message to be ignored by 
the syslog daemon to at least keep it out of sight. It really makes logs 
confusing. I'm paying attention of anyone has any suggestions to try.

Thanks!
