IIRC the issue was that Task, Process and Thread were all used to
represent the same item/concept in the Kernel code.

After some discussion, it was decided that the word Task would be used
in all cases.  This improves readability, etc... (ie. Task Manager)

So, tid_t -> Task ID

in version 2.6.1 (I've just download it)

extern tid_t execi(int (*code_start) (int, char **), int argc, char
**argv, priority_t priority, size_t stack_size);

declare in unistd.h !

So use the tid_t and not the pid_t ! (like say ROSCO)

Does anyone know why thez change pid_t to tid_t ?
