[Tuxnes-devel] How to pause with minimal effect on seti or distributed.net?

[Mike M. <che...@ya...>]

After looking into this I wonder how the current pause code may even work
at all, it's if'ed out in places.  As for select vs useep this is
imposible as we need to call XPending to get events and it's vary unlikely
we will receve any signals(interupts) since among other things we don't
have any children.

I'm going to run some ddd/gdb tests.
