I got the same thing. No sig11's. But when I run multiple processes, 
it seems that all the processes are taken care of by the same cpu
and switched back and forth. On the screen of `top':

RUN/#1     cpp
CPU/#1     top

....

RUN/#0     cpp
RUN/#0     top

Is the schedule supposed like that?


I remember before the merge with the current, the multiple processes
were

RUN/#1     cpp
CPU/#0     top

....


Besides, if the system is rebooted, I always got the message like:

I'm on cpu #1, I need to be on cpu #0!
