I believe this was fixed with the upstream fix:
commit 851c9d288a76b881ec547a61c2c3a8cc2b42f207
Author: Colin Ian King <colin.k...@canonical.com>
Date: Fri Jul 10 00:33:25 2015 +0100
Fix null ptr dereference when UID can't be read (LP: #1473245)
..can you clone and build the latest smemstat and see if this fixes the
issue. If so, I'll get this fix into 0.01.10-1 version
git clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/cking/smemstat
cd smemstat
make
and see if this version fixes the issue.
