Unavailability of /proc is fatal for kill, and continuing with the test in that case does not make sense as it will only mean false positive errors. Where /proc/<pid>/status file(s) does not exist the check will perform opportunistic sleep with assumption the test_sigreceive will be ready to be killed if it has some time to init.
