>From the patch:

A sample output of /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/maps looks like:

08048000-08049000 r-xp 00000000 03:00 8312       /opt/z
08049000-0804a000 rw-p 00001000 03:00 8312       /opt/z
0804a000-0806b000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0          [heap]
a7d12000-a7d13000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0
a7d13000-a7f13000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0          [thread stack: 001ff4b4]
a7f13000-a7f14000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

The line with '[heap]' gives it the indigestion - deleting that line and
we get:

% quilt push procfs-provide-stack-information-for-threads-v08.patch

Now at patch procfs-provide-stack-information-for-threads-v08.patch

Not sure why that line did it.  Repeated truncate-and-try shows that if the
line contained just the 4 chars '0804', it applied fine, but '0804a' dies.
