Loads of strange entries in the system log

Hello,
I have a probem on a laptop I use, a MacBook Pro running openSUSE
Tumbleweed. I do not see this issue on any other system, also not on a
second MacBook. It is not a new problem, have seen that stuff for month now,
I never noticed any negative impact. However I cannot find out where those
messages come from in the system log file:

[…]

Jul 23 14:49:54 balder pidof[11908]: can’t read from 11902/stat
Jul 23 14:50:01 balder pidof[12052]: can’t read from 12059/stat
[…]

I caanot even find out what type of process causes this, when the message
appears both the reading and the read process have already gone.

Anyone got an idea ?
