[PD] -nosleep flag not doing anything? (Ubuntu 10.4 - Pd-extended 0.42.5)

[Miller Puckette]

Hi Ingo,

I've tested this on linux (although not recently) and it seemed to work.
Naturally, you need at least a 2-processor machine, otherwise the machine
will freeze.

Should theoretically work on Mac too, but I don't have any 2+-processor
mac to try it on.  Probably does nothing on windows.

cheers
Miller
