Hi,

I think this is a mistake. The 'H' flag should keep the PID, AFAIK you
cannot use the TID anywhere in top in contrast to the PID. I usually
start top with the 'S' and 'H' flags. Now I cannot use 'k' to kill a
process in that view, as I don't see the PID. IMHO showing TIDs should
be a separate flag, 'h' maybe, as this commit changes current/expected
behavior (POLA?).

Also, this is not documented in the man page.
