I'm certainly open to your idea, and that does sound simpler.

I looked at a couple of different solutions here, and considered moving
the unshare_files call, but the problem is just what you state: the
error handling in here is _really_ difficult to manage.

Would you be willing to draft a patch that does what you're suggesting?
execve/thread handling is not really my area of expertise, so I'd
appreciate some guidance on how best to fix this.

Daniel wrote a testcase for the problem he reported, so we should be
able to quickly verify that the original problem is fixed if you have a
patch that does this. We probably we ought to get that testcase into LTP
or something too.
