This is not a new concern (to the general topic) - and some possible ways
round it have been mooted in previous discussion. I bring it up here in
case anyone thinks that the API needs to accommodate provisions for it.
==
In the case that a process has SCHED_FIFO - if an element in that process
crashes it can lock up the entire machine. Taking us back to the kind of
problem that people criticise MacOS/'doze for.
One solution is to have a separate process monitoring the server and killing
it if it locks up.
Is there a better way?
should provision for this be part of the API?
(or integral to the server).
Iain.
