LE
detects that the CPU is about to go idle).  Since none of the CPUs is idle =
in
this case, stealing will not happen.

Setting kern.sched.steal_thresh=3D1 won't make a difference since the stuck
thread raises the load to 2 on the CPU is where it is assigned.

In theory sched_balance() should eventually move the stuck thread to the CP=
