It is still working for me.

The -x option instructs du to avoid leaving filesystems when traversing down from named arguments. You named /proc as an argument and therefore du must traverse it. But with -x du won't leave /proc for a different filesystem. You can verify the options that you have given du by using echo. Example: echo du -s -x /* Note the /proc in the list.
