I was already thinking about making this a config option (whether
yield_timeslice actually drops CPU % or not - which in the unix case
would just be 1/0 for tv_usec).. just not sure yet if there should be
two functions in the system driver, or all drivers should adhere to a
global flag. But in any case, it shouldn't crash with the signals
version.. seems like there's some bug hidden somewhere. I just tried
compiling with --disable-pthreads (which also disables my nice new jack
driver :P) - and everything works (debian kernel 2.6.5).
