Really weird...
They should be the same. This means we have some problem in our procfs.

And, we have no problem on i386, I, myself, even can't reproduce this on my
x86_64 box...

Drop Cc to x86 people, add some Cc to proc people. :)

Eric, Alexey, any ideas?

Tao, would you like to send us your .config? Thanks.
