Description Jim.Pirzyk 2001-05-30 02:10:00 UTC 
	The maya batch mode renderer uses sysinfo from the linux kernel to
	get information about memory & etc from the system.  The linux
	kernel module does not have this system call.

Fix: This patch was sent to me by Charles Henrich <henrich@sigbus.com>

How-To-Repeat: 	Run a maya render and you get error messages of the following...

	linux: syscall %s is obsoleted or not implemented (pid=%ld)

Can't use floating-point math in the kernel.

Upon further inspection, all we need is this:

		sysinfo.loads[i] = averunnable.ldavg[i];

Since both sysinfo.loads and averunnable.ldavg are both arrays
of longs.
