A possible Use Case for leaving the PID code in: knowing the PID of the JVM that the SLIME it attached to allows one to distinguish which JVM has "gone off the reservation" when running multiple instances of ABCL. It also allows debugging/profiling tools to be quickly attached to the running instance. Of course, the PID can be found by other means, but it does seem somewhat useful.

But, it's basically your codebase, so if you think the GETPID DEFIMPLEMENTATION is a mess, you're going to remove it aren't you?

Well, I left it there. But I'm still wondering why finding the pid is so hard on the JVM.
