If prelink chews on a binary that's currently running, its /proc/self/exe essentially goes away. Which can be undesirable, for a persistent daemon process.

It took me a while to figure out why my daemon kept breaking all the time, when it couldn't stat its /proc/self/exe any more.

I suppose I could blacklist it, in prelink.conf. But that seems wrong. prelink should either avoid touching binaries that are currently loaded, or there should be a way prelink can coordinate its activity with binaries.
