PROBLEM: Inode<0 in /proc/net/unix (2.2.16)

[1.] Inode<0 in /proc/net/unix (2.2.16)

[2.] I found that Inode in /proc/net/unix often is less than zero on a
debian system with a 2.2.16 kernel. If I understand correctly, this should not happen.
I haven't found any mention of this anywhere.

The corresponding values in the filesystem and in the rest of the proc
system were not negative. I do not know the cause; the reason I found
it, was that "netstat -p" (show owner/PID) segfaulted, which I traced to
this. I have not experienced any other problems because of this.

This report is regretfully horribly incomplete, for which I apologize.
If anyone could give me some directions, I would be happy to supply
further information. Please CC me, as I'm not on the list.
