Glibc pid_t is 32 bits on i386: typedef int __pid_t; /* Type of process identifications. */
The IPC stuff is special-cased: /* Used in `struct shmid_ds'. */ typedef unsigned short int __ipc_pid_t;
I am on for increasing pid_t size simply because 32000 processes may become a bottleneck on large servers. The restriction isn't necessary any more. `top' will be pretty slow though.
