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

[Elisamuel Resto Donate]

Hello,

Writing to get some insight as to how I might rid myself of a the pesky 
error message on the subject. 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.

I saw the error message in the source code (file ), but I don't 
understand enough of the dovecot architecture or what the code itself is 
doing in this case. 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.

Regards,
-Sam
