CVS pids and the pids of its kids

[Laird Nelson]

Sounds like the latest Harry Potter book.

Through extensive hammering and beating on cvs, I've established the
following Very Likely Thing:

* The ID of the cvs process that runs commitinfo and verifymsg scripts
is NOT the same as the id of the CVS process that runs the loginfo
scripts.
* Specifically, the ID of the cvs process that runs the loginfo scripts
is always 3 greater than the id of the cvs process that runs the others.

Is this coincidence?  Fact?  I can't get that "3" number to change.

Comments?

Cheers,
Laird
