What's the problem?  We use following code to check if a process is
running in util.c:is_process_running

    if(kill(pid, 0) == 0 || errno == EPERM)

Now, if you own the process the first part is TRUE, if you do not own
the process *but* the process is running, the second part is true.
Doesn't this litle hack work anymore on your system?
