Hi Darren, |

You may be getting an invalid argument because on the i386 (Intel |
| 4 |
32bit) architecture pid_max seems limited to 32768. I'm no kernel |
| 5 |
expert but between this thread: http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/7/188 some |
| 6 |
googling and reading through the source in: |
| 7 |
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/threads.h (then manually branching |
| 8 |
through the code), I came to the conclusion that 32768 is the maximum |
| 9 |
permitted. |

Hopefully a kernel guru is watching and can confirm or deny my |
| 12 |
conclusions. I'm using a hardened kernel if that makes any difference. |
