This is interesting.
I had the same problem on a PowerPC 
(Old PowerBook G4 running Linux).

Using NO_THREAD_SAFE_PREAD helped, thanks for the hint.
(After recompiling without NO_THREAD_SAFE_PREAD I could clone
from this machine again, so the problem is not really reproducable)

Are there more people running PowerPC (on the server side) ?
