I thought about that too. It process.c we used to mark
the counter of each idle task to -100 and it had gone
without a reason.
Putting it back there won't really work since, on each
timer interrupt, counter will be reset to 0. IMHO the
real fix is to mark the idle task with SCHED_YIELD.
This will work because we never mangle the idle task
with goodness()... (we don't, do we?)
