>Description:
Our Linux emulation is still broken when it comes to programs that 
use clone. This is a reminder, as this problem is old and well known, but 
there doesn't seem to be a pr.

>How-To-Repeat:
As an example use the packaged mtv /pkgsrc/graphics/mtv) although it is currently out of date. 
When you start it to watch a mpeg, you will notice a lot of incarnations of
mtvp (the player part of mtv) which hang. There should be only two of them 
(one for graphics and one for sound). The complete program hangs and only 
responds to a kill -9.
Might be a problem in clone or some kind of signalling problem.

>Fix:
I don't know.
