Resend: /proc/<pid>/maps offset output broken in 2.6.29

Resending due to lack of response to original post.

I was validating some code dealing with /proc/<pid>/maps on 2.6.29 and 
was surprised when it failed.  It turns out that at least on my ppc64 G5 
machine the offset value for the last entry is strange--it shows up as a 
64-bit value even though the process itself is only 32-bit.

This behaviour also shows up in 2.6.25, but doesn't in 2.6.14.  I 
haven't yet tested anything else in between.

I'm at a loss to explain what's going on here.  Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks,
