This is a pull of your tree from yesterday, ending at commit 
fbb16e243887332dd5754e48ffe5b963378f3cd2

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?

There aren't any issues I know of with normal configurations
and the current proc code.

I don't think I saw it on any other test machines.

This machine runs SELinux.  Distro is FC5.

config: http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/config-sony.txt
dmesg: http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/dmesg-sony-without.txt

That whole thing should just be a simple symlink:

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

/proc/self/net looks fine.

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

yup, it's yesterday's mainline.

Does the problem happen if you disable selinux?

This feels like a case of selinux being over zealous.
