We have had a couple customers here in Germany report a similar problem.
In most cases the problem went away when the kern_fork.o 
patch was applied. This patch is for V4.2, V4.2a and V4.3. 
Contact your local CSC for a copy of this patch.

This patch offically fixes a problem where the system generates duplicate PIDs
if the PID table wraps around with PID_MAX=30000.

Good Luck,
