 No it's an inherrent problem..
 pids inthese systems are a 16 bit word
 they can not HOLD a PID > 16 bits..
 
 I suggest adding a sysctl that keeps the new generated pids < 60000
 as they were for years.. this is true also fo freebsd 1.x binaries
 which had the same problem when run under new FreeBSDs.
