Hi Corinna,

could you have a look on the formatting when displaying a sid column, i. e.

$> procps -eo user,pid,ppid,pgrp,tty,stime,cputime,sid,cmd

if now setsid is done, the -1 is used, which is correct displayed in
 /proc/*/sid
but displayed as unsigned value in procps which reads as 4294967295 and 
thus will break the formatting of output.

Or would there be a chance to implement sid handling during
process creation, initialize the sid to pid if there is no one
inherited by parent which should only occure if a cygwin program
is called by a windows program, and always inherit it if the parent
is a cygwin process ?

TIA

Kurt
