This is something that needs to be fixed by people that understand teh KSE 
stuff by, like you said, ensuring that the process is single-threaded here.  
That should be the very first thing exec does...  I personally had no idea

new process surreptititiously (eek!), or whatever else could possibly be the 
answer for it.
