Well, I get:

ls -l /proc/6446
total 0
dr-xr-xr-x  2 hotmail hotmail 0 Feb  5 03:40 attr
-r--------  1 hotmail hotmail 0 Feb  5 03:40 auxv

Here's an ls -al on /dev/shm
ls -al /dev/shm
total 0
drwxrwxrwt  3 root    root      60 Feb  2 19:27 .
drwxr-xr-x  8 root    root    5700 Jan 18 09:26 ..
drwxr-xr-x  3 hotmail hotmail   80 Feb  2 19:28 ..

Sorry for my ignorance, but I'm still not finding the executable. Guess
I don't understand the symlink. 

Also, does this mean that I was compromised on Feb 2?

Thanks,
James
