It's a kernel / system call bug somewhere. We ran (the company I work for) into this exact bug in our software application (a monitoring tool for monitoring system health, applications, doing log file scraping). Monitoring of processes worked on AIX, Solaris, etc. but with a version of Linux starting about 3-4 years ago, it stopped working reliably. It has to do with a system call and I can't remember at this time what it was. I'll look back on our application fixes and see if I can come up with what the fix was. It might absolutely merit a Bugzilla.
