I don't personally use this program much myself but I can confirm that
I have the same results for my 2.6.26 kernel.

My initial impression is that it is a problem with the scanf in pmap.c,
we don't check for a return value there :( so if it doesn't match
then we will never know something is wrong. Perhaps /proc/<pid>/maps
has had a slight format change.

At least its a real easy one to check if it is working or not, I've
not found anything that pmap -x works ok with.
