18 /* We have to and actually can handle cancelable system(). The big
19 problem: we have to kill the child process if necessary. To do
20 this a cleanup handler has to be registered and is has to be able
21 to find the PID of the child. The main problem is to reliable have
22 the PID when needed. It is not necessary for the parent thread to
23 return. It might still be in the kernel when the cancellation
24 request comes. Therefore we have to use the clone() calls ability
25 to have the kernel write the PID into the user-level variable. */
