This scares me.  In a signal handler, we are going to open a tdb, and
complete various manipultations of our core databases?

I realise we need a way to reset the process count, but this seems like
any easy way to get all sorts of mess in our tdbs.  

Can we safely manipulate a tdb in this case, or am I missing something?

I would prefer a scheme were we 'validate' that number, against
currently alive pids and their records in the connections.tdb.  (But I
realise that has race problems and other complexity).
