Kill it. It was not killed in 2.4 by plain luck, sorry, misfortune.

However, I do not understand this. You need to pass forth and back
SCM_RIGHTS is some way. It is quite dubious to make this asynchronously.
The same is surely true about credentials, they should be latched
on entry, not at the moment of real execution.

Kill anyway, at least in synchronous calls this was my mistake.
