First, it makes the function to read a string from the proc file and then parse it as an integer using strtol(). Then, it makes the function to return the integer read from the proc file using the int *status OUT parameter, in order to make possible its return value to be used by the caller to check if the operation succeeded. This new implementation relaxes the external contraints the function relies on, making it possible to be used by trace stat. The point is that 'stat' should not fail in case there is something wrong with the stack tracer. Only the call to die() in case the file is empty has been left in this patch: it will be removed as well in a separate commit.
