Ok.  This should be fixed in the next snapshot.  I couldn't really duplicate
it but I did see some signs of looping that might affect slower processors.

Btw, I believe that the patch to security.cc is required to ensure that
the various "sidBuf" pointers are not copied on a fork.  Due to a quirk in
the way gcc operates, the NO_COPY attribute only works with *initialized*
static variables.  So, I initialized all of the sidBuf stuff and renamed them
to specific names so that it would be a little easier to see that they had
been correctly relocated when I looked at their values via nm.

I could actually see this having serious consequences for forked processes
but I haven't actually seen anything.

This will be in the next snapshot.
