root@lc01:/dev/cgroup/burn# burnP6 &
[1] 3393
root@lc01:/dev/cgroup/burn# schedtool -R -p 1 3393
root@lc01:/dev/cgroup/burn# echo 3393 > oops/tasks
root@lc01:/dev/cgroup/burn# schedtool -R -p 1 3393
root@lc01:/dev/cgroup/burn# schedtool -R -p 1 3393

Multiple redundant schedtool invocations now work without incident.

I had almost given up trying to break it, but then this happened.

root@lc01:/dev/cgroup/burn# echo $$ > /dev/cgroup/burn/oops/tasks
root@lc01:/dev/cgroup/burn# schedtool -R -p 1 -e burnP6 &
[2] 3397

The following Oops happened immediately, but note that it was the first
burnP6 process (PID 3393) that is reported as the offender.

I tried the above procedure a second time, and now it ran for about one
second before the same Oops manifested itself, but this time with the
other burnP6 process as the culprit (the equivalent of PID 3397)

Yes, I realize I'm starting to sound like a broken record.
