I thought we discussed this earlier - its essentially unfixable. You can
either have trivial /proc crashes, deadlocks on writing this file or lose
the feature (which nobody on the planet even knew about). 

If you've got any ideas how to fix it then let me know.

Agreed about adding it to Documentation/ide.txt
