Some kernel versions (observed with kernel 5.14 and earlier) can list
"0" entries in /proc/self/task. This happens when a thread exits
while the task list is being constructed. Treat this entry as not
present, like the proposed kernel patch does:
[PATCH] procfs: Do not list TID 0 in /proc/<pid>/task
<https://lore.kernel.org/all/8735pn5dx7.fsf@oldenburg.str.redhat.com/>
Fixes commit 032d74eaf6179100048a5bf0ce942e97dc8b9a60 ("support: Add
support_wait_for_thread_exit").

# Error-checking wrappers
These wrappers test for error return codes an terminate the process on
error. They are declared in these header files:
* support.h
* xsignal.h
* xthread.h
* xtime.h
In general, new wrappers should be added to support.h if possible.
However, support.h must remain fully compatible with C90 and therefore
cannot include headers which use identifers not reserved in C90. If
the wrappers need additional types, additional headers such as
signal.h need to be introduced.
# Test framework
The test framework provides a main program for tests, including a
timeout for hanging tests. See README-testing.c for a minimal
example, and test-driver.c for details how to use it. The following
header files provide related declarations:
* check.h
* temp_file.h
* test-driver.h
For tests that make use of struct timespec, the following header files
contain additional macros and helper functions:
* timespec.h
