I've just repeated this this test with syslog only. After letting it
go for ~5 min. I couldn't break it with any keys for at least next 10
min., and I turned the power down. Then the same but with this sched.c
patch reverted: ^C worked after a few seconds. It looks like time
can really matter here.

So, maybe it's again something accidental, I don't have another box
around to stay idle while repeting this test, but it seems this could
be not the best way to compare anything with 2.6.24 or older.

Jarek P.
