It's possible that this is done intentionally... The parent_tidptr is the one that's wrong in the first clone. I have noticed something else in the minifail kernel register dumps: Jan 6 15:54:05 hiauly6 kernel: sr00-03 00000024 0000001b 00000000 00000024 Jan 6 15:54:05 hiauly6 kernel: sr04-07 00000024 00000024 00000024 00000024 sr1 seems to contain an odd value. This seems to be the case in all minifail register dumps. I checked that the sr1 value doesn't belong to the child of the fork call. This might indicate a tlb/cache issue as sr1 is used for these operations. Dave -- J.
