What happened to System/Process.getPid() ?

[Rob McKenna]

Hi Thomas,

Don't ask me why, but for some reason this mail just landed in my client 
now. (this happens a lot on this mailing list for some reason)

getPid() is still on the todo list at the moment. Once I clear my plate 
a little I'll follow up on it.
