Hello Folks,

	I have placed now a fixed version of the scheduler-new
	into the archive.  Changes are small, but effect on
	working were a bit dramatic.

	Basically the new scheduler did "pick_next_vertex()"
	once too many times in the begining, and thus caused
	the thread processor program to go into idle pool, if
	the thread had only one recipient..

	There are also the eternal troubles with child process
	reaping -- somehow on Linux I can successfully SIG_IGN
	a SIGCHLD, but on DEC OSF/1 I can't :-/

	Still there are some things wrong in the thread book-keeping,
	but all seem to work despite of the apparent discrepancies.
	(mainly because everything uses linked chains instead of
	 counter variables, I guess.)
