Hello all,

This question about latest test related to some glibc clone().

(well doesn't seems to introduce regression in test)

OTOH if I remove the nop I added in delay slot of 'b,n .Lerror' and 'comib,=,n 0, %ret0, thread_start' i.e. rm hunk:

why don't you try to step through the code with gdb (using stepi) and 
see the sequence of insns that get executed in the different cases?
