Re: nice really nice?

Talk about making the same mistake twice :) I apologize to the list!
Anyway back on topic:
I did some stracing but didn't notice anything suspicious going on. It
just seems that when things are nice'd up and pipes are involved
something terrible happens.
I can reproduce this with any of the following combinations i tried:
cat | nice --1 dd
mkisofs | nice --1 dd
mkisofs | cdrecord
mkiosfs | cdrdao
Just FYI cdrecord and cdrdao already set a very high priority internally.
