From pthreads(7) manual page:

- Threads do not share process IDs.  (In effect, LinuxThreads threads
   are implemented as processes which share more information than
   usual, but which do not share a common process ID.)  LinuxThreads
   threads (including the manager thread) are visible as separate
   processes using ps(1).
