No, they're doing it themselves. The RedHat OO package has a patch to
fix this mess (and two dozend other patches to work around OO braindamage..)
This is a very useful conversation for the OO guys themselves to hear
about. Anyone care to make them aware of the will of the kernel gods?

If redhat fixed it I assume they sent it upstream. OTOH if you read
the RH bashing on the OO lists it's another question whether it was
applied.. :)

OpenOffice can't even get its website working with ECN even though
nowdays its an IETF standard. That probably means they can't even
exchange email with some of the kernel developers let alone we hope
they are listening.
I am sure given reason they can be persuaded to fix their sched_yield
stuff however.

Right, Open Office is its own problem.
But LinuxThreads uses sched_yield() to do synchronization (yuck), since
it lacked something like futexes at the time.
