Performers:

I just got Performer 2.2 and am having a problem with the pfuProcessManager.
When I run "perfly -N" (for non-degrading priorities) I'm getting the error:

---
PF Warning/SysErr(22):	pfuProcessManager::placeProcesses() sched_setscheduler() failed for process stage=0x10 pid 9063 pri=0
---
According to the (new) man pages for pfuLockDownProc, the old style of locking
processors is obsolete and you should use the new pfuProcessManager. 
Additionally, it mentions that for IRIX 6.2 you should have patch 1717 and
patchsets 31 and 43.  This isn't mentioned in the pfuLockDownProc man 
page!

Questions: - Am I lacking a necessary patch for proper operation of pfuProcessManager? - Why does perfly still use the (obsolete) pfuLockDownProc calls in addition to pfuProcessManager? - How do I get the patchsets by number? The SGI web site only has patchsets by the current month available. - (unrelated) Why does perfly occasionally set it's window 400 or so pixels higher than the actual screen?

Yes, I run as root. System is Onyx iR, 16 cpu, 3 pipe, IRIX 6.2

Thanks in advance! (especially considering my recent barrage of questions!)
