I just tested it here with id != root and sure, you can't get the filenames
for other people's processes. This is probably caused by not being allowed
to Fopen other people's process files.

If it is really necessary to forbid read access, it should be discussed
whether some of the Fcntl opcodes that apply to entries in u:\proc should be
available as Dcntl opcodes as well.
