The problem is that /proc/curproc/file may point to unknown in some
circumstances. This is an old known problem under FreeBSD, see
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern%2F35703&cat=
Note the last sentence: "FreeBSD's procfs is deprecated."
So the test should either be skipped on FreeBSD, or if "exec = unknown"
is returned by the test program, then this test result should be ignored.
