This saddistic test would have brought the system to its knees before
the queue rework.  This still works fine on my system, so this is
progress.  I suspect that something weird was going on with your test
such that it wasn't getting the right PID.  I don't know how this is
possible, but I have seen this same thing recently on the FUSE umount2
test where I needed to bump up the PID by one to catch the right task.
