Yes.  All of the children are running with the same RUID.  However, when
a message comes in, as before, the child will change EUID as appropriate,
and do the processing.  In the new code, however, after processing the
EUID will change back to the RUID (as appropriate), as well as having
the now potentially modified config reverted to the original version.
