Pike has more thorough tests on its environments than do most other projects -- possibly most to be attributed to that we don't like to spend time tracking down problems in Pike that were really invented elsewhere.
(So large chunks of the testsuite test for bugs in the environment that would make Pike behave wrong when put to some tasks due to flaws outside of our reach.)

The test as such has no dependency on the PID generation order; it might however be that your thread library has such dependencies.
Hmmm... This is standard library included with SuSe Linux... I'll into this later... However, I guess that if this would be the case, I would notice it long time ago (I've production server running more than 6 month with this feature).
BTW, in 7.5-cvs this problem still exists - with random pids it hangs (test 316, line 800 - same test), without - everything is OK.
May be you right - that the problem is in thread library, but why it shows up only during pike tests?
