Not really. The max value of PID is a result of the variable type used to
store the pid. The kernel and glibc both define pid_t as being an int so
you're pretty stuck. I suppose diffrent kernels (2.4 for instance) might
define pid_t as something else but there is still no way you can take
advantage of it without a recompile. And even then only if your glibc also
redefined it.
