i was rather thinking sir raorn but well :) one thing is for sure, i 
am not touching that with a six-feet pole. on the other hand, bsd 
ports-maintaining people can easily patch this up in their build 
frameworks, so adding this even unconnected and just hanging still is 
worthehile. imho. but then, i'm of course partial ;)

saying what? i'm not sure what you are referring to.

it always* fails on bsds. it always fails *everywhere else* too. it 
always has. which leads me to question the utility of all this, but 
then i'm thinking, if it's in, there must be shitty clients needing 
this.

* except on netbsd, where a (sufficiently linux-compatible) procfs is 
mounted by default; or if you mount one on any other that provides a 
sufficiently linux-compatible procfs implementation.

yes, yes. indeed. do test.

this is quite expected. proper autostuff integration and all that...
