Re: [PATCH] fix race copy_process() vs de_thread()

Ah, I see. This happens when the copy_process() thread was the old
group_leader itself. Then it never does release_task() itself.
Your fix seems adequate. Another approach would be to have some place
like exit_signals() check for the group_exit_task case.
Oleg, what do you think?
Thanks,
Roland
