If this field cannot be properly populated, the proc man page should at least be corrected to say it's always 0.

Mark,

What version of the man page are you looking at? Nowadays the page says:

/proc/[pid]/statm
Provides information about memory usage, measured in pages. The columns are:

size total program size
(same as VmSize in /proc/[pid]/status)
resident resident set size
(same as VmRSS in /proc/[pid]/status)
share shared pages (from shared mappings)
text text (code)
lib library (unused in Linux 2.6)
data data + stack
dt dirty pages (unused in Linux 2.6)

(The page was modified in version 3.01 of man-pages.)
