Hi,
	the system call sched_yield() doesn't seem to work on Linux 2.2. Does
anyone know of a kernel patch that fixes this ? 

Attached below is a small program that uses pthreads and demonstrates that
sched_yield() doesn't work. Basically, the program creates two threads that
alternatively try to yield CPU to each other.
