Thanks, Eric.
Much better ('find /proc' works and so does 'ls ..'), but one
issue is still unsolved :(
I mentioned the program, that opens the directory and dumps the
content of the /proc/self/fd. Here it is (stupid but simple):
==== prog.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <asm/fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
int fd;
fd = open(argv[1], O_RDONLY|O_DIRECTORY);
if (fd == -1) {
perror("Can't open");
return 1;
}
system("ls -l /proc/self/fd");
return 0;
}

So. Here's the result of running this program:
# cd /proc/net/
# pwd
/proc/net
# ~/a.out .

Bad thing is that . when cdir is /proc/net and .. when cdir is
anything under /proc/net (i.e. the /proc/net itself) is marked as "(deleted)".
