System can have mmaped also character devices (e.g dri devices by X) or deleted

run cat only on regular files. Also mmaped files can have spaces in filenames.

 A: Try running
 
-cat `cat /proc/[0-9]*/maps | grep / | sed 's:.* /:/:' | sort -u` > /dev/null
+cat /proc/[0-9]*/maps | grep / | sed 's:.* /:/:' | sort -u | while read file
