The getpeereid is to be expected.  I had sent a bug report, since they
have manpages, but no API.  The next release should have the API exposed
I'm told.

As for agent-ptrace, I looked at it for a week before having to give up at
the time for real work.  I couldn't get a valid test case that acted the
same (AIX, OS/X, Linux and OpenBSD).

It's almost as if the 'chmod g+s' is being ignored and the OS is letting
gdb attach to it.

As a result, I'd been a bit leary on sending to Apple.  I may just file
one of the failure and leave it at that for the time being (hate doing
that.  I perfer only submitting solid debug information.  Mainly when it
is not their in-tree version also).
