Hi Eugene, I tried on a Debian Wheezy machine, and the kernel does allow higher values, up to 2^22 (around 4 million). The htop from wheezy aligns the PID column nicely when reaching >100.000 . Although when you enable other columns that are based on the PID, like PGRP (process group id) and SESN (session id) these do not line up. So the problem seems to be partially fixed.
