>Description:
Since 4.0 BETA2 I'm having problems with linux emulation and procfs that other users on IRC approved.
A normal user can't access essential files in /usr/pkg/emul/linux/procfs, which may be the reason for some linux-emulated programs not working.
An earlier checkout of BETA2 a few days ago even didn't let a normal user do ls /usr/pkg/emul/linux/procfs at all.
>How-To-Repeat:
# mount -t procfs -o rw,linux procfs /usr/pkg/emul/linux/procfs
$ cat /usr/pkg/emul/linux/procfs/cpuinfo
