This does cause the process to sleep - in an interruptible wait.
Please give more details about the problem you're seeing. Have you
tried getting a process listing from a different virtual console,
xterm or whatever you normally use? What does that say?

Sorry, but I cannot get anything else to run. I can barely get XWindows to
kill the process.
What prevents schedule() from returning to the current process w/o any
