Re: 2.6.24-rc3: find complains about /proc/net

Oh, it seems it has indeed been that way for a very long time, so I 
was mistaken.  It still seems a little odd to me.  Ulrich can say 
definitively whether the kind of concern I mentioned really matters 
one way or the other for glibc.

glibc cannot survive (at least NPTL) if somebody uses funny CLONE_* 
flags to separate various pieces of information, e.g., file 
descriptors.
 So, all the information in each thread's /proc/self should be 
 identical.

When the information is not the same, the current semantics seems to 
be more useful.  So I guess, no change is the way to go here.

can you see any danger to providing a /proc/self_task/ link? (or can you 
think of a better name/API/approach)
