>Description:
	I have a nullfs-mounted dir with some executables and a mounted procfs (under /proc).
	Now if one of the executables tries to read /proc/curproc/file it got an error or sometimes wrong path.

>How-To-Repeat:
	# mount -t procfs procfs /proc
	# mount -t nullfs /bin /mnt
	# /bin/ls -l /proc/curproc/file
	lr--r--r--  1 root  wheel  0 Mar  9 13:53 /proc/curproc/file -> /bin/ls
	# /mnt/ls -l /proc/curproc/file
	lr--r--r--  1 root  wheel  0 Mar  9 13:53 /proc/curproc/file -> unknown

	The second ls shows wrong info.
