Partimage: Problem with sched_yield()

[Ruediger Scholz <rscholz@hrzpub.tu-darmstadt.de>]

Hi there!

When I run partimage, the program starts but nothing else happens. No 
GUI, or else! So I give "strace partimage" a try, and so it seems like 
there is a endless loop calling sched_yield():

sched_yield()                           = 0
sched_yield()                           = 0
sched_yield()                           = 0
sched_yield()                           = 0

Kernel is 2.4.22-pa7. Does anybody whether this is a kernel bug or a 
program bug?
