hire me...). There is a very small race between processes exiting the environment and processes entering, such that the entering process would incorrectly conclude that the exiting process had died and recovery was necessary. However, this race was triggering crashes on a daily basis in our build farm. svn path=/nixpkgs/trunk/; revision=8712
