 SIGINFO! SIGINFO! SIGINFO!

You'd still need somewhere to put the status message; the dump process above 
has no controlling terminal.

 If it has no controlling terminal then it's not going to receive
 ctty signals like SIGINFO.

Unless you send the signal manually.

But I agree, SIGINFO is not a good solution here :)

 I'm not sure who you're agreeing with, since I did not say that.

I apologize for the remark, however tongue-in-cheek it was intended.

Could you please clarify your position on this issue?  Is 
setproctitle() the wrong way to do this, and if so, why?
