I'm not too familiar with SCHED_FIFO. But can't you use select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, 0) to do the same thing? System calls are cancellation points, at least.
Incidentally, I was around for the cooperative multitasking days on Mac OS 6. It was not good. I'm sure there's some rationale for simulating that kind of thing in userspace, but a lot of times it smells like doing something in userspace that you ought to be doing in the kernel.

select(timeout=0)? That's just as bad as sleep(0). sched_yield() looks a lot better, and since it is also a system call, there is your cancellation point.
