ISTM anomalous that for cygrunsrv, daemons, cron processes, and shells /proc/<pid>/{cwd,root} have bad symlinks to "<defunct>", normally a process or exe status:

/proc/732/exe   -> /usr/bin/cygrunsrv
/proc/732/root  -> <defunct>
/proc/732/cwd   -> <defunct>
|  /proc/733/exe   -> /usr/sbin/cygserver
 ->/proc/733/root  -> <defunct>
   /proc/733/cwd   -> <defunct>
/proc/740/exe   -> /usr/bin/cygrunsrv
/proc/740/root  -> <defunct>
/proc/740/cwd   -> <defunct>
|  /proc/741/exe   -> /usr/sbin/syslog-ng
 ->/proc/741/root  -> <defunct>
   /proc/741/cwd   -> <defunct>
/proc/748/exe   -> /usr/bin/cygrunsrv
/proc/748/root  -> <defunct>
/proc/748/cwd   -> <defunct>
|  /proc/749/exe   -> /usr/sbin/cron
 ->/proc/749/root  -> <defunct>
   /proc/749/cwd   -> <defunct>
   |  /proc/2080/exe  -> /usr/sbin/cron
    ->/proc/2080/root -> <defunct>
      /proc/2080/cwd  -> <defunct>
      |  /proc/2082/exe  -> /usr/bin/bash
       ->/proc/2082/root -> <defunct>
         /proc/2082/cwd  -> <defunct>

Should we consider changing that to root "/", or nothing, null, or something meaningful?
