It also skips the test if fopen fails on smaps, but maybe that's super
rare?

fork() below prints errno, should this also print errno?

I guess the logic here is that you might fail later because it's sealed
but you don't know? Is this rare enough not to matter?

This file also has an #ifdef __i386__ later, Using it here would
prevent unnecessary scanning of the maps file. Probably not a big deal?

Do you need to close the maps file?
