To get the ball rolling, I've put online my patch to randomize the order which
PIDs follow.  If all goes well, I expect to commit this sometime over the
weekend, followed by another commit the following week to replace the PRNG
with something a little better than random().

To use this, you need to set the sysctl knob kern.randompid to 1.

Diff's against current are available at www.freebsd.org/~dan/randompid.patch


Cheers!
