Apparently PPID for the parent process id is not a standard feature of the Bourne shell (or at least it isn't present under solaris-5.11).
Attached is a patch to my ABCL GETPID implementation that uses HANDLER-CASE to return '0' if any error is raised in attempting to getpid().
I think we could always return 0 and get rid of the entire mess. The pid is only needed for implementations for which we use Unix signals to interrupt the Lisp process. For ABCL we use threads and not signals.
Any objections to that?
