[PD] pd watchdog/ non-root realtime priority?

[derek holzer]

Answering my own posts again... isn't it lovely to see someone else's 
thought processes in motion? ;-)

Anyway... I thought I remembered some discussion a while back on this 
topic, so an archive-hunt turned up a source patch for PD. I'll try this 
later, but can I ask Guenter.... did this not make it into CVS or normal 
PD 0.37.1 release?
