I tried to see the patterns of this problem before replying again. Because 
the bug randomly appears I can't conclude if 2.1.0 was any better (though 
I couldn't reproduce the problem with it.)

I have an idea why this might be happening and want to ask what happens 
each time one does read /proc/<pid>/cmdline, does the function 
_pinfo::commune_request called everytime, or just once?

This might explain some behaviour I am seeing because tmux is reading that 
file every 20 seconds or something like that.

Thanks!
