Unfortunately that patch works but has unintended operation that can be 
seen with the following.

sleep 1000 &
pkill sleep
No matching processes belonging to you were found
[1]+  Terminated: 15          sleep 10000

It then kills sleep and still prints no processes belong to you message.

Now pkill -v sleep on my system actually causes my Xserver to exit with a 
unexpected signal 15.

Without the patches it works as it should...

Overhead endured.
