Public bug reported:

At random occasions, pstree returns "/proc/xxxx: No such file or directory" on 
stderr. No output on stdout is produced.
I can reproduce the problem using this script:

#!/bin/bash
for i in $(seq 1 1000); do
        unset p
        p=$(pstree -s -A $$ 2>/dev/null)
        if [ "$?" -ne "0" ]; then
                p=$(pstree -s -A $$ 2>/dev/null)
                echo "Retry: $p"
        fi
        sleep 0.02
done

I have seen this behavior in version 22.15 (shipped with Ubuntu 12.04
LTS, package version 22.15-2ubuntu1.2). The problem does not seem to
occur on version 22.21 (shipped with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS).
