What problems are there? I'm just curious.
BTW, someone recently announced (on comp.os.linux.development.apps) a POSIX threads packages using clone(). It's version 0.1, very alpha, etc, but the author claims that POSIX threads are, indeed, possible with clone(). IMO, this is the proper way to use clone() as it will result in more portable programs.
TTFN,
