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,
