Any version with PID_MAX increased to 99999

>Description:

intro(2) states

DEFINITIONS
     Process ID.
	     Each active process in the system is uniquely identified by a
	     non-negative integer called a process ID.	The range of this ID
	     is from 0 to 30000.

Which is wrong, since PID_MAX is now 99999.

>How-To-Repeat:

RTFM for intro(2) :-)
