+//
+// This function uses the libc clone wrapper (which updates libc's pid cache)
+// internally, so callers may expect things like getpid() to work correctly
+// after in both the child and parent. An exception is when this code is run
+// under Valgrind. Valgrind does not support the libc clone wrapper, so the libc
+// pid cache may be incorrect after this function is called under Valgrind.
+//
+// As with fork(), callers should be extremely careful when calling this while
+// multiple threads are running, since at the time the fork happened, the
+// threads could have been in any state (potentially holding locks, etc.).
+// Callers should most likely call execve() in the child soon after calling
+// this.
