I still think the patch is correct. Ben LaHaise sent me a UML binary which crashes, which I can send you if you want to look at it. This thing was looking at errno after the first call to fork even if it succeeded. This leads me to believe that this is a compiler oddity rather than a compiler bug, and that this is causing UML to hit the tt-specific errno crash with recent libcs. You understand that problem more than I do. So, I would say that skas0 is more a fix for this problem than reverting the fork-not-clone patch is.
