Great write-up. The lesson about avoiding system() in non-interactive code really resonates - I learned that the hard way too. The fact that a closed-source ps in QNX hid a 15-year-old race condition is a strong argument for keeping low-level utilities open, and kudos for digging into the older open-source tree to finally break it open. Always enjoy posts that combine a real debugging story with broader reflections on tooling.
