    Yes, I'm definitely seeing issues.

    If I do a 'while(1) end' in a csh then interactivity with e.g. Firefox
    goes to hell.  It isn't supposed to do that.  I think the
    non-interactive thread is interfering with the UI's heavily
    interactive operations between the X server and the application.

    I will try to track this down today.  I thought I had fixed this by
    allowing reschedules when the current user process  has a low dynamic
    priority but it doesn't seem to be working the way it is supposed to.
