you will also have to change PID_MAX (spelling?) to be 60000
I have considered making this a tunable..
If you don't then the shell in the 1.1.5.1 environment will not be 
able to handle when a child
get s a pid of > 16 bits and it will not be able to wait on it. so it 
will suspend for ever.
teh result is that you can not complete  a "make world".

last time I tried a "make world" completed in about 1 minute and a kernel
(1.1.5.1 GENERIC) compiled in way less than a minute. that was in 7.x 
days.

I'd like to see results under 9.2 on a modern machine.
