The same problem exists on BSD-ish systems, and I changed the patch for some
other reasons as well. I'm double-checking it works on more systems right
now, and will commit in a few minutes :) Sorry it was delayed long enough
for most of you to run into this problem (or so it seems) but we had a big
network outage that had a bit higher priority ;P

FWIW, not just Linux has a boken nice()... BSDI and FreeBSD have it, too,
and they also note nice() has been obsoleted. I'll provide a patch to use
setpriority/getpriority for the 2.2 tree, falling back to nice() only if
they aren't available.
