Error: /proc/self/status is larger than expected

Hello,

gaia ~ # uname -a
Linux gaia 6.1.12-gentoo-x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Mar  9 19:57:24 CST 2023 x86_64
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3470S CPU @ 2.90GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
gaia ~ # dovecot --version
2.3.20 (80a5ac675d)
gaia ~ # cat /proc/self/status | wc --bytes

See attached for example content of /proc/self/status and the dovecot.conf
through 'dovecot -n'

I am re-sending this message because there were a lot of DMARC reports due to my
reject policy and the Dovecot list settings.

Regards,
-Sam

Error: /proc/self/status is larger than expected

Hi,

At this point I have resorted to add the error message to be ignored by 
the syslog daemon to at least keep it out of sight. It really makes logs 
confusing. I'm paying attention of anyone has any suggestions to try.

Thanks!
-Sam

Error: /proc/self/status is larger than expected

Hi!

This requires a code change, which is currently in progress. It does require you
to patch Dovecot yourself if you want to use it, once it's ready.
