 Better yet, given that it's a C program that invokes
        /usr/bin/nice -n 20 /bin/dd if=/dev/ar%d of=/dev/null bs=1m &
 via system(3), would be to use nice(3). Actually, the whole thing
 is sort of dubious: What if my libraries are corrupted and I'm trying
 to use /rescue/atacontrol to fix things, but it gives an error because
 it's hardwired to use /bin/dd instead of /rescue/dd? A simple
 while (!eof) read(); loop should suffice.
