It is perfectly well possible to write a multi-threaded application
without the assistance of a threads library, by using the clone
system call directly. This module should be able to give some
rudimentary support for debugging such applications if developers
specify the CLONE_PTRACE flag in the clone system call, and are

- In general one should specify the __WCLONE flag to waitpid in
order to make it report events for any of the cloned processes
(and leave it out for the initial process). However, if a cloned
process has exited the exit status is only reported if the
