In fact the kern.proc tree doesn't appear to contain anything though it does exist at least on some of the boxes. The kern.proc.pathname is a weird sysctl. It's per-process, and it's impossible to access it via name, only by numeric ID. So, this is normal. The fact that reroot doesn't work because of this is not normal, though. I have no idea why this would fail; I'll investigate. Also - could you add a PR with all the information you have? Thanks!
