Minor bug

I'm still running .68, but the nice levels are a little weird...
for most processes (that should be niced to 0) I'm seeing a -5 like this:

406:[root]adam:/$ ps -axl 4908
F UID PID PPID PRI NI SIZE RSS WCHAN STAT TTY TIME COMMAND
0 502 4908 188 0 0 1888 532 12d94c S p2 0:02 (pine)
407:[root]adam:/$ renice -12 4908
4908: old priority -5, new priority -12
408:[root]adam:/$

As I said, this is very minor(I think) and is probably a problem with
renice, not the kernel. (mayby it is due to the change in the proc
system? I don't know). I haven't seen any otherr effects of this.

A recent study has found that concentrating on difficult off-screen
objects, such as the faces of loved ones, causes eye strain in computer
scientists. Researchers into the phenomenon cite the added concentration
needed to "make sense" of such unnatural three dimensional objects ...
