Eek! My Hurd installation is too out-of-date to check, but I'd guess that the
permissions are messed up. The Hurd has a fourth set of permissions for people
who haven't logged in yet; this should probably be set to --- for just about
everything on the system in a normal setup.

Known bug -- I don't remember whether it's in df or the Hurd, though.

proc is a mostly undocumented feature of the Linux kernel ;-) I suppose
someone could write a proc server for the Hurd, but no-one has..
