What is the range of the OPT_EXTERNAL_DEPEND? The same process? The same computer? The real problem in the issue is dumping I suppose.
As an example getpid is added as efun in two places in Pike, in one of them it is marked as OPT_EXTERNAL_DEPEND and in one it is not, underlining the confusion.
All system calls should probably be EXTERNAL_DEPEND. The kernel is definitely external to the pike interpreter.

OPT_EXTERNAL_DEPEND means that the the result of the function depends on something other than it's arguments.
