Re: PATCH: proc_do_stop and rpctrace

The concern I have about this patch per se is proc calling thread_resume on
a random port from the user.  This is at least a DoS opportunity.  It also
points to a more general problem rpctrace has--servers make comparisons
between ports from the user (rpctrace) and ports outside rpctrace's sphere
of interposition.  I bet "rpctrace ln foo bar" (dir_link) gets EXDEV too.
