In some case (randomnly) I get the following in some tests:010/194: compound_convop7_xml.test ... (ERROR 7) funcTest.sh/Create and query compound values (EVector XML): (compound_convop7_xml.test): teardown produced output on stderr
cat: /tmp/orion_9999.pid: No such file or directory
make: *** [functional_test] Error 7
```

```
168/194: xmlParse/compound0.test ... (ERROR 7) funcTest.sh/Compound Values for UpdateContextRequest 0: (xmlParse/compound0.test): teardown produced output on stderr
cat: /tmp/orion_9999.pid: No such file or directory
```

Loing to brokerStop() implementation, it is related with the following:

```
kill $(cat $pidFile) 2> /dev/null
```
The situation is weird, as an error in cat means that the broker has already been stopped... If the stopping cause was a crash the test should have probably failed in the output comparation phase, not in the teardown phase.

Any idea of what can be happending in this case?
