There is one other bit that needs to be documented in clone, although
I am not certain where/how.

The sequences:

unshare(CLONE_NEWPID).
clone(CLONE_VM)

setns(fd, CLONE_NEWPID).
clone(CLONE_VM).

Now fail.

Can you define "now" please. Which kernel version?

3.8

The sequence was impossible in 3.7.

I think that change that made that impossible happened in the 3.8-rc1 to
3.8-rc2 window.
