No, it'd have to be 4 in this case: "1" from "/proc", "." from "/proc/1",
".." from "/proc/1/fd" and ".." from "/proc/1/task" all point to "/proc/1".
It should always be the number of real subdirectories plus two.
Just copy this directory recursively to a real filesystem and check the
hardlink count there.
