Debugging is somewhat MUCH MORE DIFFICULT than rewriting.

Here is the minimum patch that can only unbreak Mozilla 1.7.12 (GTK 1),
Firefox 1.0.7 and RealPlayer 10.0.7.785 (playing video)
(sysctl compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16).

It doesn't mean problems of clone(2) have been fixed. Actually, clone(2),
set_thread_area(2) and get_thread_area(2) are mis-interpreted.

Adobe Reader 7.0.8 hasn't been completely unbroken yet. Problems around
it seem to be more complicated.

My patch (against /sys/i386/linux/linux_machdep.c of CVS revision 1.53):
