hostid will get you the processor id, but I'm not sure that will  
solve the problem.  If you have a system with one processor and start  
two IPC jobs, the first job will create the resource, the second job  
will use the resource created by the first job, and the first job to  
terminate will remove it, leaving the other one in limbo.
