Hi Uli,

there is one patch for the nice() emulation from me, where I and
Andreas Jaeger already asked you for inclusion in the official tree,
but never got an answer. Since all Linux Distributions have this
patch in their glibc version, I think we should include it in the
official release.

The problem is, that, if the result of the current priority of a
process and the added nice value is out of the priority range, nice
should return the new priority which is really used, and not our
calculated value:

        * sysdeps/unix/nice.c: Use getpriority() for the return value
