- In an earlier thread in this newsgroup, it was decided that this is in fact a
- requirement of POSIX. (Clarified in the Supplement, I believe.) If the user
- himself has not included <sys/types.h>, then the name `pid_t' is not reserved
- to the implementation, and so it falls in the user's namespace.
