" Anyone have any idea what might happen if two processes tried to 
" HUP the same pid at the same time?

depends on whether the receiving proc resets its sighandler fast
enough to properly catch the second hup.  you'll either get the
intended response or [i think] termination.

" I had a situation where two scheduled cron processes were trying to
" HUP the same httpd when rolling the logs.  The cron entries were
" for the same times.  :-/
