before going into a pid_t handling "killing spree" all over the extension, let me know if this is something wishable. |

I think this makes sense, as anything outside of this range seems to point to a bug |

What actually happens on -2 at the moment? |
|
hmmm looking at it now, negative numbers < -1 might be relevant cases (for kill), they normally aim for process groups in this case e.g. -2 -> process group 2 but will have a look later. |

pid_t is, for the most part, represented by a signed int, by overflowing it, we end up being in the -1 case which affect all accessible processes.
