pthread uses clone system call. doen't it ? if so, please see - man clone


 CLONE_PID (obsolete)
             If  CLONE_PID is set, the child process is created with the same
             process ID as the calling process.  This is good for hacking the
             system,  but  otherwise of not much use.  Since 2.3.21 this flag
             can be specified only by the system boot process  (PID  0).   It
             disappeared in Linux 2.5.16.
