Sidnei actually checked one of those in today (a different one than
we're talking about here).  So there's some progress on that front --
& all of it today <wink>.

OK, that's settled.

So easiest in the patch would be to replace

                f.write(`pid`)

with
                print >> f, pid
 
Piece o' cake.
