Package: fatrace
Version: 0.19.0-2
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

fatrace is suddenly pretty noisy with (spurious?) error messages of the
form "failed to open /proc/XXXXXX: No such file or directory". In a few
instances it also attempts accessing the /comm subdirectory. So when not
redirecting stderr, even on a rather short run and relatively silent
system, I'm easily seeing hundreds of such lines. Of course, these don't
end up in the regular output file, though I don't think it's intended
behavior and there is hardly a point. My guess is these are simply due
to very short-lived processes, like there's some kind race condition.
It's apparently harmless, but if so might better be ignored.

Regards,
Oliver
