Bug#569683: linux-image-2.6.26-2-686: /proc/pid/maps is empty for all processes
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.26-21
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
/proc/pid/maps is empty for all processes, only /proc/self/maps works.
The following patch helped me to fix the problem:

return mm;
I'm writing this report from modified kernel, which contains this
patch, and I test like 'cat /proc/1/maps' works now.
