Digging a bit deeper, it seems that GNU Hurd does not have a functional /proc/self link (at least not Debian/Hurd 0.7). $ uname -a GNU hurd07 0.7 GNU-Mach 1.6+git20160114-486/Hurd-0.7 i686-AT386 GNU $ ls -l /proc/self lrwxrwxrwx 0 root root 1 Dec 31 1969 /proc/self -> 1 $ od -ta /proc/self/cmdline 0000000 i n i t sp [ 2 ] nul 0000011 And so this test will never succeed as-is. A relevant mention of /proc/self shortcomings is here: https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd/translator/procfs/jkoenig/discussion.html#index2h1 Hope this helps, - assaf
