Cool, I just found the bug with scope process threads that was
causing Token_Strategy_Test to fail.  Now the 2 ACE tests that
were SIGBUS'ing (with scope system threads enabled) are now
running.  Only Token_Strategy_Test fails, but it is just an
expected result where some mean value is less than the stddev.

I was willing to work on the idle KSEs; I was just asking
your opinion :-)  Feel free to tackle it though.

This is fun stuff :-)
