# dies, the child is reparented to the init process
# The init process is usually 1, but doesn't have to be, and there's no
# standard way to find out what it is, so the only portable way to go it so
# attempt 2 reparentings and see if the PID both orphaned grandchildren get is
# the same. (and not ours)
