This should really be handled in the Linux init scripts because it is
actually a Linux bug. Posix threads should all have the same PID which
is the case under Solaris, NetBSD and IIRC Linux with new thread
implementation.

Your system is apparently using the old Linux thread implementation
based on the "clone" system call which used a PID per thread.

	Kind regards
