/*
 *  'schedule()' is the scheduler function. This is GOOD CODE! There
 * probably won't be any reason to change this, as it should work well
 * in all circumstances (ie gives IO-bound processes good response etc).
 * The one thing you might take a look at is the signal-handler code here.
 *
 *   NOTE!!  Task 0 is the 'idle' task, which gets called when no other
 * tasks can run. It can not be killed, and it cannot sleep. The 'state'
 * information in task[0] is never used.
