It is a regression against stable-8. I suspect it is due to changes of sbuf implementation between 8 and 9.
Some files are rather big (over 4KB) and it is really standard to read them in blocks. >How-To-Repeat: "dd if=$FILE bs=1", with FILE any file in procfs or linprocfs The result is empty output. Tried with FILE /proc/version from linprocfs and /proc/curproc/map from procfs.
