Clarification here: it's only going to be a worry if somehow the process 
with the same pid before died and whoever held references to it kept 
them active and going (no monitor or links?) long enough for the entire 
pid space to wrap around to the point of the old process.

It's much more likely you'll see this problem with registered processes 
and untimely handling of monitors; I wouldn't really worry about pids 
wrapping.
