            Bug ID: 17214
           Summary: Expose a function to reset the PID cache
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: nptl

GLibc caches PIDs. Much has been said about this. Regardless, some people have
to use the low level clone system call which does not update the PID cache (for
making new processes only, trying to make one's own threads that interact with
NPTL would be a mess). I would like a way to reset the PID cache so that the
low level clone system call is usable.
