I've noticed that the thread ID increases. On one process I checked

Is this going to cause a problem when the thread ID exceeds some
value? Do I have to force the server process to recycle periodically?
These processes are designed to run continuously, and are running in a
fairly demanding commercial environment for extended periods of time.
They have proven to be very stable and reliable. I'm hopeful that it
will not be necessary to recycle to force the thread ID to restart.
The thread ID assigned to new threads will wrap around when it reaches
2147483647. In 6.6 we made thread IDs 64 bits
oops, I lie. It's still 32 bits in 6.6.
Cheers,
Simon
