RFR 9: 8176272 : (process) ProcessHandle::onExit fails to wait for non-child process

[Thomas Stüfe]

Hi Roger,

when using isAlive0, would it may make sense to - on the first invocation -
remember the process start time and on subsequent invocations to check this
time against the new return value? That way you could check for process
identity in the case of recycled process ids.

Kind Regards,Thomas
