It indeed seems to be a kernel bug. The following patch aligns
/proc/$PID/net with all the other /proc/$PID stuff.

diff --git a/fs/proc/proc_net.c b/fs/proc/proc_net.c

};

I'm not entirely sure about the process to synchronize the application
of the fix in the procfs tree and the fix/removal of the testcase in the
nolibc tree so we avoid broken states.
Or if this would technically be a (relevant) break of userspace ABI and
therefore has to stay as it is.
Any ideas?

Thomas
