Bug description:
  ```
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/share/apport/apport", line 102, in get_pid_info
      proc_pid_fd = os.open('/proc/%s' % pid, os.O_RDONLY | os.O_PATH | os.O_DIRECTORY)

      raise ProcPidNotFoundError(*error.args, error.filename) from error
  ProcPidNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/proc/88802'

  During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
