The linux elf version of Codine works flawlessly on FreeBSD.  We're
using it to implement fault-tolerant prioritized CORBA objects
on clusters.  (Completely different approach than Electra et. al.)

I haven't looked into the scheduler very carefully but the hooks
are there to do interesting things.

(This is *high* latency stuff :-)

Russell
