In fact, it worked better.  It worked on a modern Debian filesystem, where
my old code didn't.  Hence I didn't notice the mistake (although I should 
have compared what I did with David's patch and justified the differences,
if any).

Yeah, I not sure why I did things the way I did.  That's very old code, and
there may have been some good reason for it which has since disappeared.

Offhand, it looks like doing things in the standard way will clean up
copy_thread a bit.
