This is what happens (no ktraces included):
When the files (version and cpuinfo) are not present, lstat fails and xslite4
aborts. When the files are present lstat succeeds, but xslite4 fails because
the files have length > 0 (on Red Hat they have length 0; on FreeBSD they are
regular files). As a result xslite4 aborts. When you create empty files,
lstat succeeds and xslite4 will open the files and read them, but will fail
because it does read what it expects and aborts; after which I aborted :-)
XessLite4 will only run when /proc is properly emulated.
Sorry,
