It is perfectly well possible to write a multi-threaded application
without the assistance of a threads library, by using the clone
system call directly. This module should be able to give some
rudimentary support for debugging such applications if developers
specify the CLONE_PTRACE flag in the clone system call, and are
using Linux 2.4 or above.

Note that there are some peculiarities in GNU/Linux that affect
this code:
- In general one should specify the __WCLONE flag to waitpid in
order to make it report events for any of the cloned processes
(and leave it out for the initial process). However, if a cloned
process has exited the exit status is only reported if the
__WCLONE flag is absent. Linux 2.4 has a __WALL flag, but we
cannot use it since GDB must work on older systems too.

- When a traced, cloned process exits and is waited for by the
debugger, the kernel reassigns it to the original parent and
keeps it around as a "zombie". Somehow, the LinuxThreads library
doesn't notice this, which leads to the "zombie problem": When
