Yes, I've been discussing this w/ ad@, chs@, and riastradh@.  I have a different approach that's almost ready to go, and will remove this separate "TID".  The system call was not yet exposed in libc, so it's not a problem to pull it out.

For various reasons, the ID must be limited to less than 32 bits.
