I did not try to test it, but there's code that purports to handle that
in latch.c, ~ line 1150, and the behavior it's expecting mostly agrees
with what I read in the macOS kevent man page. One thing I'd suggest
is that EACCES probably needs to be treated as "postmaster already dead",
too, in case the PID is now owned by another user ID.
