The problem of re-used pids is something people frequently worry about, but
which is (for all practical purposes) never seen in real life. For one
thing, even in the old days of 15 bit pids, it is still basically
impossible for it to cycle all the way through in any sort of reasonable
time frame. Nowadays, we have 22 bit pids, so it is even less likely (*).
1) As far as I know, all "normal" Unixes use the simple cycle method of
allocating pids - i.e., just keep going up by 1 until you reach the max,
then start over again at 1 (or 2). But I think at one point, it was
thought that having "predictable" pids was somehow bad for "security",
so they had a random assignment method.
