That's interesting but I don't even know whether syscall(64) is portable among all linuxes, past present and future; or how to test it corresponds to the getppid syscall. Calling random system calls in a test file is a bit like, er, insert random funny comparison here. (BTW I added your getppid code simplification as change 24703 to bleadperl)
