If you put "main()" at the beginning, I'll assume this code is executed
in userspace. Under Linux, userspace programs have always been
preemptible. So, of course, this userspace program won't block all the
system.
The discussion concerning preemption between 2.4 and 2.6 only applies
to the code executed by the kernel itself.
Sincerly,
Thomas
