For the test suite, procps used to use sleep which would just
create a process or two to test the tools against. Some setups
coreutils creates all programs including sleep into one blob which
means a lot of the tests fail, see issue #2
procps has its own sleep program now.
The ps sched test has been disabled. There are too many
odd build farms this fails in strange ways.
Other odd build farms have no tty and so some tests check
for no tty and skip if not found.
It seems command -v also includes built-ins so checking for kill
is useless because it finds the built-in and those machines or
environments that have no /bin/kill fail at the check stage.
Oh and then TCL exec doesn't spawn a shell.
After reading way too many TCL websites, I believe this should
fix the problem. TCL quoting is... different to say the least but
it works reliably here. The script now even picked up a typo elsewhere
which was nice.
This change should stop the intermittent FTBFS bugs from the Debian
pbuilders, I hope! You'd think kill $var wouldn't be this difficult.
which is a separate package that may not be available and is not yet build on Linux from scratch build order.
Instead use posix command -v. command -v is a builtin working with bash-4.2, 3.0.25 or even old bash-2.05 or current debian dash

This commit increases the upper limit of permitted values
in the expect_table_dsc procedure from 999,999 to 99,999,999.
The previous value was insufficient and causing the slabtop test
to fail on build systems where the number of objects exceeds
one milion.
Some checks will fail due to different locales. For example 1.2 will
become 1,2 so the match fails. Problem reported by Alfredo Esteban
with fix suggested by Mike Frysinger
The testsuite failed on archlinux which has sleep in /usr/bin/
instead of /bin/ directory. This commit will make expect to use
$PATH to determine where sleep is.

Under certain circumstances, using abort() when either make check
or make distcheck puts ps into an infinite loop around the
function catastrophic_failure() in ps and the C library raise
and abort functions.
Using exit removes this problem and does almost the same thing.
