Comment 55 for bug 838811

O.K., so much for my due diligence testing speech above.

I have created a senario similar to what Olivier reported above, and yes indeed I also am seeing reported load averages that are very much too high (Oh, darn).

At the moment I am not setup for compiling the kernel, but I can be in a short time. I would like to verify proper load reported averages, under these conditions, with the final kernel.org patch taken out. (for my own benifit, and because I understood it better, I will then try my version of the patch, which is different than what came back from Peter Z. at kernel.org. (My version did not account for a certain code path in sched.c because my computer never ever took that path))

Currently, I have hacked up my test program to obtain these results. If I get around to fixing it up, I'll post it here.
In a minute I will post my test results as a text file.
