> details. The question still remains, though ---- what do we specify?
I think Al was right. It is outside the scope of this list. I think we have two
options
1. Clone works like this [warning Linux specific]
What is posix.4
2. Clone works like this [warning Linux specific]
POSIX.4 works like this
The following do not work
signal quirks
exec quirks
setuid quirks
Relying on the non function of a standard property of POSIX.4 is
expressely
forbidden by this specification. Future changes to the Linux pthreads
library
to bring them further in line with the specification are explicitly
defined
as compliant to the LSB definition.

No software is perfect. If they know the limits they get to make the decisions
they
need.
