I do wonder if we have to lookup the UIDs in this case. As long as I
understand the test correctly we are testing that no signals are send to
a process if the sender real of effective UID do not match either of
real and saved set UIDs of the receiving process. If my understanding is
correct we can just take two arbitrary UIDs that != 0 and the test
should work just fine.
