Perhaps it's just me, but why would the daemon stat /proc/self/exe? I
presume prelink writes a new file and renames into place as a proper
Unix program should, which still leaves the original program intact on
disk until the last open file descriptor referring to it is gone.

A means for authenticating a filesystem domain socket's peer. Receive the peer's credentials, then check /proc/pid/exe and /proc/self/exe. If they're same, the daemon is talking to another instance of itself.
