proc mount, but acts like it isn't.

["Blunier, Mark" <Mark.Blunier@Williams.com>]

I've got 2 machines running Debian Woody that act like proc is not mounted.
running ps as a user:

user@linuxbox:~$ ps
Error: /proc must be mounted
  To mount /proc at boot you need an /etc/fstab line like:
      /proc   /proc   proc    defaults
  In the meantime, mount /proc /proc -t proc

When I run ps as root, it hangs.  When I run mount, it shows
proc is mounted, but I cant remount it, and I can mount it a
second time.  After I mount it the second time, then things
work as usual.  Any ideas of what is wrong?

linuxbox:~# mount
/dev/hda2 on / type reiserfs (rw)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
linuxbox:~# ps

linuxbox:~# mount proc /proc -t proc -o remount
mount: /proc not mounted already, or bad option
linuxbox:~# mount proc /proc -t proc
linuxbox:~# mount proc /proc -t proc -o remount
