Thanks, Manfred.  Basically what I was trying to do, except this appears
to actually work :)

So now when I replace fork+unshare(CLONE_NEWNS|CLONE_NEWIPC) with
clone(CLONE_NEWNS|CLONE_NEWIPC|CLONE_SYSVSEM) (moving the first semop
to before the clone), I do in fact manage to get an oops with the mmotm
I fetched this morning.  So I maintain that you do also need to ensure at
copy_namespaces() that if CLONE_NEWIPC is specified, then CLONE_SYSVSEM
is *not* specified (since, this being clone, specifying it means that
the semundo is shared with the parent).

thanks,
-serge
