Changing the loop to something like spawn true set sid $spawn_id wait $spawn_id close -i $spawn_id Makes it work fine. In fact, I increased the loop to 1000 just to be sure, no issues. I put similar (add the wait and close -i) into the psmisc test script makes it pass on Hurd now. So that's good, psmisc can be updated. In other news, procps 4.0.4 should work on Hurd. I removed a PATH_MAX and fixed the library to not use /proc/sys for Linux version.
