Even though clone() and fork() are related, they don't seem to be close enough to allow a single routine to be used to implement both. With this patch, the LTP tests for clone now pass. It may be possible to fold this back into do_fork(), but this just seemed to be a little bit more straightforward. Stuart Stuart R.
