Subject: PROBLEM: getpid() returning same value as getppid()

Hi,
here is a bug that occurs on my kernel 2.6.31-21, maybe with older ones. 
  If a C program contains a function with the constructor attribute that 
calls getpid(), then, a call to syscall(SYS_fork) produces a son that 
obtains the same value calling getpid() or getppid().

Best regards,
Sébastien Paumier
