--- Comment #4 from Michael Kerrisk (mtk.manpages@gmail.com) ---
So, I revisited this, and realized that I wrote the sentence against which you
reported the bug. I hope that I was at that time thinking what I said in
comment 3!

However, I think it does not hurt to say even more in the manual page, so I
amended it further to say:

              Store the child thread ID  at  the  location  ctid  in  the
              child's  memory.   The  store  operation  completes  before
              clone() returns control to user space in the child process.
              (Note  that  the  store  operation  may  not have completed
              before clone() returns in the parent process, which will be
              relevant if the CLONE_VM flag is also employed.)
