Please explain... Would the pid be set erroneously as well ? Ignoring the kernel-user space pointer issue, we're going to have a tight pid + request_id relationship being maintained across multiple messages. We'll also be depending on the pid events for clean up if an app dies. So I hope pid is consistent.
