Since 2.2 seems imminent, I thought I'd put on my "security hat". There's
a /proc security fix in 2.0.3x which I'd like to see in 2.2.
The fix stops someone holding open "/proc/<pid>/*" files, letting the
process exit, then waiting for "pid" to be re-used, gaining read access to
semi-sensitive info.
Cheers
Chris
