 :>    Yes, presuming it was fixed and we aren't talking about the root-only
 :>    hack (where the idprio binary was made executable only by root, or
 :>    something like that).

     ok, got the update emails... looks all ok, you are leaving one open
     until the scheduler bug is fixed, great!
 
     (this was a relatively minor bug once we found it and stopped using
     idprio, so it isn't a big deal to us).
