This just shows the first process. There is a new 'ps -m' which shows 
all the threads with different PIDs. However getpid() just always 
returns the same number for all threads.

Similarly the "H" key in top will display all threads.

The Posix threading specification says that getpid must return the same 
value for all threads and this is why the change was made. I don't know 
why the spec says what it does.
