No; we acquire the fd per process, so if a task installs a filter and then forks N times, we'll grab N (+1) copies of the filter from N (+1) different file descriptors. Ideally, we'd have some way to figure out that these were all the same. Some sort of prog_id is one way, although there may be others.
