3 extra lines are read from /proc/pid/status:

Name:	bash
State:	S (sleeping)
Tgid:	6046

< current patch breaks here>

Ngid:	0
Pid:	6046
PPid:	6045

Let me remove that loop by reading in 4k at a time and making a single 
pass. That should bring down the overhead, but filling in the ppid will 
add some.
