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!
