No,  I have not done it before.

One of the machines, who gave me the output was rebooted on last 
thursday and no updates were installed since this day  (rpm -qa --last) .

The machines have identical kernel (2.6.32-431.23.3) and OS version   
(CentOS release 6.5 (Final)). One of the affected machines is a new 
Installation and waiting for some services.

The deleted flags are the same as in  /proc/1/maps
