lsof purpose is to dig into a kernel memory to gather information about
the process state and opened files.  To do this, lsof authors have to use
internal kernel data structures.

The library which is discussed in the thread uses public interfaces,
but then tries to pack the returned data into internal kernel structure.
If this is true, then the breakage is on the library side.
