[ i've Cc:-ed Ulrich Drepper, this CFS-triggered hang seems to have some futex and pthread_cond_wait() relevance. ]

It was quite hard to trigger it under CFS, i had to do wild forward/backward button seeks on a real DVD and i mixed it with CPU-intense workloads on the same box.

Maybe xine-lib has some buggy use of pthread condvars that CFS happens to trigger? (If CFS broke futexes in general i think we'd be seeing far more widespread breakage.)
