I don't think that there is any way to do it completely from inside
MzScheme (it would probably be a useful extension).  Anyway, if you're
using Linux, a simple way to get the current pid is:

  (string->number (resolve-path "/proc/self"))

I found similar tricks for Sun (cd into /proc/self, then check the
current directory), and FreeBSD (use "/proc/curproc").
