Bug#190581: nice() doesn't work

[Robert Millan <zeratul2@wanadoo.es>]

Package: libc0.3
Version: latest (not installed)
Severity: normal

nice is unable to set process priority to "-1".

test code follows:

#include <sys/resource.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <errno.h>

main ()
{
  int a = -1;

  errno = 0;
  int b = nice (a - nice(0));
  if (errno)
    perror (NULL);

  if (b == a)
    printf ("nice is nice\n");
  else
    printf ("nice is fucked\n");
}
