I'm pretty sure that Mandrake's policy of not letting programs look at /proc/self will break a lot of other software in possibly-subtle ways, so could you please report it as a bug? I don't see any reason why a process shouldn't be able to look at /proc/self/fd. Certainly glibc itself uses /proc/self/fd in places other than its implementation of futimes.
Actually I just verified that this happens in the two highest security levels (4 and 5) even for Mandriva 2006, so I guess this problem exists for all Mandrake/Mandriva versions in-between. I will file this as a bug ASAP, but better be safe than sorry :-|
