And /proc might not even be started yet, so exec need to be unfrozen at least, to start it. Perhaps killall5.c could have a Hurd-specific function to use libps to identify procfs and let it continue. > But it would surely be nice not to freeze filesystem translators, and > probably the pagers and the term translators.

Restricting this to root seems easy though. Yes, and I agree. Samuel
