Is there a time bomb in sequential process id allocation when the `unsigned` wraps?

I’m designing and implementing a multiprocessing postscript interpreter (“lightweight” processes simulated by a single OS-thread), and I need to generate a unique identifier for each process in the system, as well as maintain ids for any dead processes which still have live references.
