Right. Does anyone know what kind of audit was made of the tty code to ensure everything would be fine? It it was pretty thorough and it was just this little corner case it makes sense to get the struct tty locking for pids correct. Otherwise since the tty layer is historically not especially good with it's locking. We should just revert the change above, and save attacking this until someone has time to do a thorough review.
