Wouldn't someone writting some kind of rabbit process eater generate a fairly high load average? I've seen my system climb with a load average in the hundreds with processes like this.
I would thinl it would be trivial to spot someone doing something like this. My favorite solution for somnthing like this is to disable the account he is using, and then have a talk with him.
As for wrapping pids, I'm told that AIX assigns a bit of randomness to its pids to prevent things like this.
