CLONE_PID isn't really implemented yet. For it to be correctly
implemented, we need a 'TID' (thread ID) field also, so that different
threads in the same process can be distinguished. I believe that
functionality is considered a 2.3 job...
After TIDs get implemented, then I suppose people will be more
motivated to do a clean sweep of the multithreading code, and fix any
tiny bugs.

Actually, I don't know much about this. Don't use it, haven't read the
source. But I was interested in writing a multithreaded program at one
time... I suppose you have read the information at the LinuxTHreads
homepage?
