Ubuntu Server 9 jaunty, kernel 2.6.28.

Maybe I was wrong with the assumption they are 16 bit; they just never 
exceeded 16 bits in range in my experience. Let's say they are just two 
ways to identify threads. I am talking about numbers shown

a) by top -H -p `cat /var/run/asterisk.pid`
b) by gdb `info threads', second column.
c) the number shown by gdb as the mutex owner.

These are integers in the range of hundreds to slighlty above 30000, but 
that observation is unimportant here.

This versus the long numbers like 0x7fc919a4f950, shown by `core show 
locks' and `core show threads'. I do not know how to match these to 
threads in gdb.
