Thanks for reviewing this.

David is correct that pid is arbitrary here anyway so it really
shouldn't matter.  The patch just lets applications that make an
incorrect assumption that happens to usually be right for the
initial namespace work similarly in other namespaces.  So
including the patch seems more of a policy question.
