David, I just found that problem.
1) I burned a fresh 1.68 3/26 diskette.
I modified the default boot down to 8192 MB ram
I boot single disk and configure + setup + passwds
+ /var/boot/modules/*
I loaded ldd, strace, ltracc.
I ran a couple of ldd's on more and whatnot.
I > /var/log/syslog
I ran apkg -e (Everything)
I rebooted.
Nothing odd in dmesg that I see.
System boots, I log in,
/proc is empty. Nothing really works.
ifconfig, route, etc.

Shared libraries don't modify themselves, if that's what you're
wondering, but then again, you know that.
No idea about the open file issue and tar issue.
