 I am also experiencing this bug in 7.2

 I setup top to run every minute from crontab to diagnose an unrelated 
 problem.
 
     carbon# crontab -l
     <snip>
     *    * * * *   top -a -I -j -t -n -osize >> /var/log/top.log ; echo
     '-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------'
      >> /var/log/top.log
 
 and I'm getting emails containing "kvm_open: cannot open 
 /proc/<number>/mem".
 
 The error is not generated every run. It runs every minute, and the last 
 3 errors I have are 10:18, 10:27, 10:32 (current time, 10:47)
