Hmm. Unless I am totally confused you found a serious bug...

Without CLONE_THREAD/CLONE_PARENT copy_process() blindly does

	p->exit_signal = args->exit_signal;

the valid_signal(sig) check in do_notify_parent() mostly saves us, but we
must not allow child->exit_signal < 0, if nothing else this breaks
thread_group_leader().

And afaics this patch doesn't fix this? I think we need the valid_signal()
check...

Oleg.
