__atfct_seterrno() or futimesat() broken

Hi,
if you call futimesat() without kernel syscall support and without
/proc mounted you will get a seg.fault in __atfct_seterrno():
(gdb) down
#0 0x400d8f53 in __atfct_seterrno (errval=2, fd=0,
buf=0xbfffe4e0 "/proc/self/fd/0") at openat.c:61
61 *(char *) strchr (buf + sizeof "/proc/self/fd", '/') = '\0';
The problem is that all *at.c files uses:
static const char procfd[] = "/proc/self/fd/%d/%s";
except futimesat.c, which does not append the filename after the
file descriptor (as you can see from gdb output).
So the strchr will not find a "/" and the return value is NULL.
First question is: Should futimesat.c append the filename, too, or
should it not call __atfct_seterrno?
Second question about __atfct_seterrno: This function only checks for
ENOTDIR if /proc is mounted. Why? utime() in futimesat.c returns
ENOENT for this case:
utimes("/proc/self/fd/0", NULL) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
Shouldn't the check, if /proc is mounted, be the first on in
__atfct_seterrno?
