The problem is caused by a bad definition in the POSIX standard.
On UNIX you have always been able to lower your priority, with the RR
scheduler you need to be root even if you like to get worse priority.
Unfortunately, it is higly non portable to become root again after you
did revert to the previous user privillege.
