So then let me ask why you think that name has been registered in the  
root bootstrap when it doesn't appear in the following output?

As you've indicated NSConnection's registerName is succeeding, we can  
probably assume that the name is being registered in _some_ bootstrap,  
but some subtlety of your NSTask approach may be landing it in a  
bootstrap that you don't expect.
