I still disagree with this analysis. If I know that the target process is still alive, and it is not, this is a persistent error condition which can be reliably reported. Given that someone might send SIGKILL to the process behind my back, detecting this error condition could be useful. Rest looks good to me (with the usual caveats). Thanks, Florian
