I don't think you need to care about it. There are valid reasons
for doing the passing, and a core dump of one process in a pair
involved in a pass could leave the thing in limbo. But it is
resolved on process exit.
I don't think you need to be overly concerned about the thing
being in limbo, since if both processes exit, it's cleaned up.
