> + * PROC_CN_MCAST_NOTIFY. (Implemented in the thread_filter.c file).
> + * This will send the exit code from the child to the kernel, which the kernel
> + * can later return to proc_filter program when the child actually exits.

I expected the test to check for the correct value to be returned?
Could you use pthread_join() and verify the same value is returned
through the new mechanism, or will they not match?
