Yes I should..
"The OS9 Guru" errata of 30th june 1993 however asks us to correct the text
with:
Only the creator of an alarm (same process ID in OS-9 version 2.2, but same
group number and user ID in later versions)...

We use a OS-9 system to control a production machine. Our application is
started from the startup file. I prefer the operators not having to know
they're dealing with OS-9. So all processes get the same group number and user
ID (in fact it is even super user status).
