Interesting - the proc-pid-parser actually parses that file name just fine:

    $ echo '2001 (bad) S 1 2 3 4 5) S 1888 2001 1888 34816 2001 4202496 428 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 20 0 1 0 75513 115900416 297 18446744073709551615 4194304 5100612 140737020052256 140737020050904 140096699233308 0 65536 4 65538 18446744072034584486 0 0 17 0 0 0 0 0 0 7200240 7236240 35389440 140737020057179 140737020057223 140737020057223 140737020059606 0' | jc --proc-pid-stat

But the "magic" signature doesn't recognize it:

    $ echo '2001 (bad) S 1 2 3 4 5) S 1888 2001 1888 34816 2001 4202496 428 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 20 0 1 0 75513 115900416 297 18446744073709551615 4194304 5100612 140737020052256 140737020050904 140096699233308 0 65536 4 65538 18446744072034584486 0 0 17 0 0 0 0 0 0 7200240 7236240 35389440 140737020057179 140737020057223 140737020057223 140737020059606 0' | jc --proc             
    jc:  Error - Parser issue with proc:
                 ParseError: Proc file could not be identified.
                 ...

I can fix the "magic" signature (regex) to account for such cases.
