/proc is there alright.

Well, I dom't think that matters.
I've been doing that kind of evaluation everywhere since ages.
All these expressions:
[ "" ]
[ -n "" ]
[ -z "" ]
evaluate correctly in all shells I use: bash, zsh, dash and ash (except
for maybe this time, on this version: 1.13.2). I already have ash from bb
1.1.3 behaving as expected on the same box.

if [ "$(pidof <process name>)" ]
should return failure both if the pidof exit code is non-zero and when the
expression evaluates to the empty string. That's the behaviour in all
shells I use.
The gdb backtrace I sent shows weird values for various variables.
