Hi John,
Please try the following patch - it should be applied _instead_ of the
patch I sent on 7/20.
The previous patch was still insufficient when the root task has not only
threads, but also a child (the child was a "ghost" task used temporarily
during restart). I believe this patch correctly addresses the problem, and
I tested against your program with and without --pidns.
I'll wait for your confirmation before pushing the fix to cpt-v22-dev.
Thanks !
Oren.
