I particularly like the lines:
* This needs some heavy checking ...
* I just haven't the stomach for it. I also don't fully
* understand sessions/pgrp etc. Let somebody who does explain it.
which are still present in linux-2.4.0-test4/kernel/sys.c ...
I remember coming across this when someone was asking about process
groups on the slug list a while ago. Looks like the typo
(heave -> heavy) has been fixed at least.
The logic in that code hasn't been touched in six years, apart from
DaveM putting fine grained locks through it. Gotta wonder if Linus
had a copy of APUE back then :)
