Hi, I think this is a mistake. The 'H' flag should keep the PID, AFAIK you cannot use the TID anywhere in top in contrast to the PID. I usually start top with the 'S' and 'H' flags. Now I cannot use 'k' to kill a process in that view, as I don't see the PID. IMHO showing TIDs should be a separate flag, 'h' maybe, as this commit changes current/expected behavior (POLA?). Also, this is not documented in the man page. Florian
