    SubjectRe: [PATCH] Core patch for 32-bit UIDs
    I'd like to put my +1 in for 32-bit UIDs.

    Now, about those 16 bit PID's... is it really fair to
    allow more users than threads or processes ?
    (Just kidding. At least for now.)

    [dank@krunch linux-2.3.33]$ grep 'typedef.*pid_t' include/*/*.h | grep short
    include/asm-arm/posix_types.h: typedef unsigned short __kernel_ipc_pid_t;
    include/asm-i386/posix_types.h: typedef unsigned short __kernel_ipc_pid_t;
    include/asm-m68k/posix_types.h: typedef unsigned short __kernel_ipc_pid_t;
    include/asm-ppc/posix_types.h: typedef short __kernel_ipc_pid_t;
    include/asm-sh/posix_types.h: typedef unsigned short __kernel_ipc_pid_t;
    include/asm-sparc/posix_types.h: typedef unsigned short __kernel_ipc_pid_t;
    include/asm-sparc64/posix_types.h:typedef unsigned short __kernel_ipc_pid_t32;

    (The above is just my personal opinion; I don't speak for my employer,
    except on the occasional talk show.)
