>Description:
It would be nice to be able to specify PID_MAX from the kernel configuration
file. However, this is impossible right now, as far as I can tell.

>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
The following definition would allow PID_MAX to be defined in config files,
I believe:

--- proc.h      Sun Feb  8 12:18:49 1998

*** 252,259 ****
   * We use process IDs <= PID_MAX; PID_MAX + 1 must also fit in a pid_t,
   * as it is used to represent "no process group".
