The use of procfs also makes the tests non-portable to various non-*nix platforms. For example, darwin doesn't have procfs at all, so p-d-e-2.38 self-tests explode with an initial output line of:
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEFEEEEEEEEEEEEE
The proposed change gets me as far as:
...................F......
and that failure is due to a missing dependent package, which means "the fix here" works perfectly.
