Thanks for the reminder. Yes, the patch looks good for maint if you see spurious failures. Do you have an old system? What was the highest $try that you needed, 30 seems a bit excessive, no? I wonder what the current lower bound on PID reuse is on systems. There are certainly systems which use only 32K PIDs, and process creation can easily be thousand per second. I hope that 10 seconds are still safe. Cheers, Ralf
