Sorry, I remember your solution now. You're absolutely right (still).

I preferred the "include/exclude" flag, which covers the "what to do
when cpus come online/go offline" as well as the size issue, but
that's personal preference.

However, I shall dutifully attack the glibc people for this, then
(/usr/include/sched.h):

#ifdef __USE_GNU
/* Set the CPU affinity for a task */
extern int sched_setaffinity (__pid_t __pid, unsigned long int __len,
unsigned long int *__mask) __THROW;

/* Get the CPU affinity for a task */
extern int sched_getaffinity (__pid_t __pid, unsigned long int __len,
unsigned long int *__mask) __THROW;
#endif

Thanks!
Rusty.
