Description

The IT tests in maven-surefire project which work with Maven 3.2.x and forked processes fail with thrown NumberFormatException.
As a root cause, surefire cannot decode the process id " 2" as a String to the number.
It looks like the fault is Maven Core side however the IT tests fail on our side. it seems that Maven backwards compatibility is broken.
