Hum, which is precisely why we need the patch. Still I would feel a bit better if we could check that priv->pid is a child of the current process something like (getppid(priv->pid) == getpid()) test before any kill would do this easilly I think.
Simply keep track which processes you've (successfully) waitpid()'ed already, then you'll know. cheers, Gerd
