99998.

ben@magnesium:~$ grep PID_MAX /sys/sys/*
/sys/sys/proc.h: * We use process IDs <= PID_MAX; PID_MAX + 1 must also fit in a pid_t,
/sys/sys/proc.h:#define PID_MAX         99999

The comment isn't quite true -- the pids are < PID_MAX, not <= PID_MAX
(unless I'm reading the code in kern_fork.c wrong).
