And that SCHED_RR has a time quantum returned by sched_rr_get_interval
which is not guaranteed to be small.  However, if it is a small time
and it's not switching that's a bug in either libc or the kernel.

Note that printf() does locking which may complicate things.  Try
opening separate outputs for each thread, or using write().
