I don't think so. I don't think the IPC_SET operations change the sid
(at least I don't see it in the code) so its redundant with the obj information
that's in the IPC record. If I'm missing it, I hope someone will point
it out to me.
I agree that it's redundant. This is the sub-record that describes the
requested changes to object properties, and any information that can't be
changed through IPC_SET doesn't need to be in it. The information about
the current state of the object and subject is in separate sub-records.
