The fix is to replace "&proc_root" with "NULL". During the call
to remove_proc_entry(), xlate_proc_name() will map NULL back to
proc_root again. (patch attached)
However, the userland component is unusable, as described in
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=453852
IMO, until both bugs are fixed it's not worth updating the package
for just one of them.

Replace "&proc_root" with "NULL". During the call to remove_proc_entry(),
