You need to have procfs mounted on /proc - for mysterious reasons it
looks up its command line parameters using it!

I did submit a minor change to the package which would check for procfs
mounted in the right place a couple of months ago (pkg/9560) and it does
seem to have made it into current pkgsrc.  It may be time to update to a
more recent pkgsrc (or else, my patch doesn't do what it says on the
tin, in which case I apologise!)

Cheers,
Tim.
