Unfortunately no 3rd party verification yet - adding one of my own.

Since I wasn't sure about the reproducibility I went a bit parallel:
Using the test (very slightly) modified in 4 precise containers I got a 
reliable trigger:
2/4 directly
2/4 after one retry

mkdir -p ~/tmp_tasks; ps xa | wc -l; for i in `seq 1 65`; do touch
~/tmp_tasks/test$i; done; for i in `seq 1 65`; do echo
~/tmp_tasks/test$i; done | xargs killall; ps xa | wc -l

Upgrading to proposed got them all reliable to report:
"Maximum number of names is 64"

I played a bit with ps and couldn't find any other regressions that would be 
obvious.
That said - setting verified.
