I have to look into it and I haven't found the time.
I will try to get to it soon.
It's possible that it is just an oversight on my part; however I would
say that the goal is that if a process is locked to a particular thread
then that thread should also invoke the process sentinel; beyond that I
am less clear on the issue.
