The problem I am actually trying to solve is that my sysstat utility is reading 
the entries from /proc and produces a curses based terminal output. 
Unfortunately I am having severe problems with the 64 bit versions of both 
Sun's libcurses and Blastwave's libncurses. Sun's version has issues concerning 
colors and Blastwave doesn't produce any blanks. I have tried some workarounds 
but couldn't get it running.

Just having to find out that reading data from a file requires a process to 
have specific attributes hit me by surprise. Currently sysstat is compiled as 
32bit binary, so all information on 64bit processes are silently omitted, which 
is not the intended bahavior...
