Note, I've been working all week on a port for -rt. It required some
clean ups, but as I finished (last week), I keep hitting a "hung task"
when running dbench in a loop over night. I spent most the week trying
to debug it. But I'm starting to think this is something to do with -rt
and not your patch. So I'll be posting my patches later today.
