The change you have is logically consistent with the change I put into
our code tree a while back and it has proven to work fine and solved
the problem I found.
The only differences are that I used, pid_t and gid_t in the variable
definitions, and I the values for the two new variables on function
entry at the same time we get all of the other values out of curfile
for later use.
Thus, though I have not run your exact code, I believe it will fix the
problem.
