{set,clear}_child_tid are both pointers to user space: it's an address
in userspace, so we save it as 'unsigned long'.
{clear,set}_child_tid is defined in include/linux/sched.h ... how can
it differ for different archs ?

Thanks. I got a few fixes for the code piles up and now c/r of 'screen'
with a couple of shells is working :)
