Thanks for the suggestion, I'll probably do that regardless of a fix to the unp_gc problem, because it's indeed unnecessary overhead in our scenario. Still that's a workaround you most probably don't want if you have untrusted users on the system or you end up hacking in something comparable to security.mac.seeotheruids.specificgid.
