ive just done a quick tour of several SLES10 SP1 boxen, doing ls /proc,
and i didnt see "0" in any of them , EG:
<<<<<
kimbahome> ssh root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
This root was originally imaged with image: x86_64-sles10-sp1-rc5

[...other motd deleted..]

wallace:~ # ls /proc|head
1
10
1083
1084
1085
1086
1087
1088
1089
1090
wallace:~ # ls /proc|grep '^0'
wallace:~ #
>>>>>

i dont know anything about SLED

anyway it suonds to me PCP is reflecting the state of the system in a
reasonable way, with the possible exception of saying "<exiting>"
