Seems to me a pretty big security risk if one job could peek at another jobs memory.

But the job being peeked at has to actually send the peeking job the pointer.

Besides, isn't that what happens every time a socket server spawns off a child server job? If I remember right, the child server job sends the spawning job a request for the socket, and the job ID to hand it off to, and the spawning job sends back a pointer to the socket.

Seems to me that service jobs are a far bigger security risk.
