[OPEN-ILS-DEV] PATCH: osrf_system.c (pedantic)

Toward the end of osrf_system_bootstrap_client_resc(), we use 
snprintf() to build a connect string, incorporating a process id 
at the end.

The conversion specification for the process id is "%d", implying
that a pid_t is an int.  However it is not necessarily an int.  It
is a signed integral type but it can be a long.

This patch changes the conversion specification to "%ld", and casts
the return value of getpid() to a long, in order to coerce it into
a matching type.

I know this is a really picky thing to worry about, but it's the
right thing to do, even though it's a rare system where this change
will make any difference.  (Alternatively we could coerce the pid_t
into a long long, but that's almost certainly overkill.)
