Although, overflow occurs very rarely, but it break fairness when it occurs. 64-bits systems have more memory than 32-bit systems and 64-bit systems can create more process usually, so overflow may occur more frequently. This patch guarantees fairness when overflow happens on 64-bit systems. Thanks to the optimization of compiler, it changes nothing on 32-bit.
