From-To: freebsd-bugs->freebsd-emulation

Looks like a problem in the emulation code.

No it's an inherrent problem..
pids inthese systems are a 16 bit word
they can not HOLD a PID > 16 bits..

I suggest adding a sysctl that keeps the new generated pids < 60000
as they were for years.. this is true also fo freebsd 1.x binaries
which had the same problem when run under new FreeBSDs.

freebsd-emulation -> emulation (since the latter has nearly all reports for 
this list).
