OK, it took a bit to verify this, but it looks to me like most of the child thread stuff is inoperative, because the "is miniroot" flag gets unconditionally set, and with that set everything is single-threaded. By not registering a handler for SIGCHLD you are assuming the default, which is to ignore it. It might be better to explicitly set it to SIG_IGN. Other than that, this looks good.
