I would have thought that if the scheduler can't find a thread to run
then "select" would get called.  The kernel trace provided didn't show
select being called, so I would have assumed that a thread *is* being
scheduled.  It would appear to me that a thread or threads are just hard
looping into the thread scheduler, as might be the case if pthread_yield
is being called repeatedly.  But, you know more about this than I do.
