Ok, that's just something odd.

There's been various suggested patches by Al/Eric (added to cc) for 
/proc/net handling, but none of them have actually even been merged yet. 
So I don't think this code has changed in a while. 

Al, Eric, ideas?

That whole thing should just be a simple symlink:

	fs/proc/proc_net.c:     proc_symlink("net", NULL, "self/net");

are you sure it's a plain tree of mine, without any of the patches 
floating around between Eric/Al?
