I don’t really know what this stuff is about, other than  
is_pid_native is used to test if a program/process is running  
natively or emulated -- who calls it and why, and why it is not  
allowed, I don’t know. It might be that the distributed objects mate  
uses to talk with TM, is testing if sender and receiver are both in  
the same architecture or so, and somehow this is not allowed because  
you run as another user in the shell, or… well… I really have no idea ;)
