I've bumped into a similar problem when running StarOffice on a system without _KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING. It seems that StarOffice likes calling sched_yield() and doesn't take ENOSYS as a hint. My syslog entries showed repeat counts in the high 5-figure region. It's useful to know that a process wants to use the RT scheduling functions, but it would be nice if this message could be rate-limited so that processes that ignore return codes won't flood the console. I'm not sure how to achieve this - since doing it properly implies additional per-process state - and I don't think it's important enough to bloat struct proc. [I don't have the RT extensions enabled because there was a past thread about them being susceptable to priority inversion deadlocks - is this still true].
