Run it with /compat/linux/bin/bash.

Right, the Linux folks have put a lot of cruft in /proc
that doesn't really belong in a process file system.
DragonFly (and FreeBSD) have a much cleaner approach to
the contents of /proc.

(However, my personal opinion is that /proc per-se is a
dirty hack that exists for historic reasons only.  On my
FreeBSD machines I don't mount it anymore at all, because
it's inefficient, nothing really uses it, and it's a
potential security risk.  I think it's a mistake that
Linux depends so much on /proc.)
