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

[Pedro Lopes]

Here it works:
$ pd -nosleep
Gives one of the CPU's 100% load fulltime. No need to run in root for this.
My startup alredy boots pd with -rt flag and I have the limits.conf tuned as
reported on the wiki/documentation.

The system is:
$ Linux 2.6.31-9-rt #152-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT RT Thu Oct 15 05:01:14 UTC 2009
i686 GNU/Linux
(Ubuntu 9.10 rt)
(The CPU is a *AMD* Turion 64 X2 TL-60.)
