ok, sounds good. Then based on Dean's post and when Brad confirms that GetThreadID is 
always unique for NetWare we have only to add:
#define gettid GetThreadID

and in mod_unique_id.c we can remove the error warning and then change:
    pid = getpid();
to:
#ifdef MULTITHREAD
    pid = gettid();
#else
    pid = getpid();
#endif

On the other side I saw that some other sources inside Apache use getpid(), is this 
not a problem there too? And if only Win32 has an insufficient getpid() definition, it 
may be enough to redefine this only there and leave all other as is...??
