This has been pretty well savaged by now, but just to add the coup de grace
I would like to point out that process numbers are not necessarily 16-bit.
On Solaris, for example, pid_t is a 32-bit integer, and process numbers
can in fact range up to MAX_MAXPID = 999999 if you want them to (by an
/etc/system setting).
