Steps to Reproduce: 1. Compile threadexec.c (attached) 2. Issue the command: strace -f -o /dev/null ./threadexec /bin/echo hi | grep hi 3. Repeat a few times if necessary Actual results: Program execution will print 'hi' on a single line. Kernel BUG will be reported in kernel messages. Expected results: Program execution should print 'hi' on a single line.
