We initially set the pid_max on the hw node to 128k. We were seeing two issues with that setting. One of the errors was either with sudo or ps.
$sudo ps -ef |grep 105753
stat: Value too large for defined data type
$

The other error is with a commercial application, BEA's Tuxedo while trying to run the tmshutdown command
tmshutdown: internal error: CMDTUX_CAT:766: ERROR: must run on master node

We have changed the pid_max to 64k and we haven't seen the issue with sudo or ps, but the error with tmshutdown persists. If we drop the pid_max back down to 32k the tmshutdown command works as expected.

Our hardware node is running RedHat Enterprise 5.3 and the 2.6.18-128.1.1.el5.028stab062.3 kernel
The VE is running RedHat Enterprise 3.9, below is the config
