Is there any reason not to use message files or a scoreboard file rather
than JCWs for this sort of interprocess communication? A memory-mapped
scoreboard file that looks like an array of records/structures indexed by
PIN seems like a useful solution here, given that the highest possible
PIN is known in advance.
