I disagree. I think that there is a clear mistake in my original patch
that this patch fixes.


I agree with you on that. The real concern is that we were just about to push it upstream. So where does this leave us? I propose we delay merging the
"improved smp nice handling" patch into mainline pending your further changes.

I think that they're already in 2.6.15 minus my "move load not tasks" modification which I was expecting to go into 2.6.16. Is that what you meant?

If so I think this is a small and obvious fix that shouldn't delay the merging of "move load not tasks" into the mainline. But it's not my call.
