You are not guaranteed to get the same handle in multiple processes even
though they point to the same global object internally.  I just tested it,
some of my test processes got one memory address and others got a different
address, even though there was only 1 event involved.

That is fine.

You are probably using them incorrectly in general.  Please show your actual
code that is not working for you.

You cannot compare handles across processes.  If you truely specified
theEXACT same name for both, then you are guaranteed to get the same object
in both processes.
