This thing (on top of current -git) seems to pass Ogawa's tests at least 
on my machine (both on SMP, and when the processes are limited to just a 
single CPU).

Of course, since he wrote both the patch _and_ the tests, that doesn't 
come as a huge surprise - you'd expect Ogawa's patch to fix the testcase 
he has.

I use neither kdesu nor GNU emacs, so people who see the problem should 
test this patch, and maybe we can put _this_ particular issue behind us.
