 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.
