Using linprocfs on 4.1.1-STABLE system, 

% cat /compat/linux/proc/stat

or

% cat /compat/linux/proc/uptime

cause a panic with the following message

 Fatal trap 18: integer divide fault while in kernel mode
 instruction pointer     = 0x8:0xc0933030
 stack pointer           = 0x10:0xc60dddc8
 frame pointer           = 0x10:0xc60dde20
 code segment            = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b
                         = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1
 processor eflags        = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0
 current process         = 325 (cat)
 interrupt mask          = none
 trap number             = 18
 panic: integer divide fault

and then the system reboots immediately.  At least, this problem has
exist since 4.1.1-STABLE around 24 Oct., but around 17 Oct..  

This is dangerous because every user can make system down easily.  

I heard that the CURRENT around 28 Oct. works good with the same
operations, so this problem maybe exist only in 4.1.1-STABLE.
