FWIW, the other guy I know who is having this problem had already
switched to using ULE under 7.0-release, and did not have any
problems with it.  So *his* problem was probably not related to
SCHED_ULE, unless something has recently changed there.

Turns out he hasn't reverted back to 7.0-release just yet, so he's
going to try SCHED_4BSD and see if that helps his situation.
