The content /proc/<pid>/cmdline is created by the proces <pid> itself, in a
separate thread.
Since you use memory intensive application (xterm -sl 20000) we can
speculate
it might be caused by memory corruption in xterm.

Observe whether the processes with corrupted /proc/<pid>/cmdline behave
properly
and try avoiding '-sl 20000' as a work-arround.

Unless there is another application with the same problem, this is not a
topic for this list, I think.
