SubjectRe: reproduceable GPF in 2.0.23 with Quota when unmounting /proc

Yes. For instance, you might want to have an initial (RAM, for now) disk
with a linuxrc program which needs /proc to figure out various sundry

In order to cleanly unmount the RAM disk, nothing may be mounted on top of
it. Hence, umount /proc.
