Why is the pid value limited to 15 bits on _all_ architectures?
I read somewhere that libc5-i386 is restricted to signed short, but what
about the other architectures?
And get_pid() doesn't contain an "out of pid" detection. AFAICS one
thread can block 3 pid values (pid, pgrp, session), we must limit the
number of threads to 10.000 on i386.
