CPU affinity problem?

I have dual CPU machine on which I run two niced crack processes.

If I send SIGSTOP to one of the two processes, the remaining crack process
keeps bounces quite between the two CPUs (as shown by the CPU0_Nice and
CPU1_Nice bars in procmeter3), so as to give almost the same load on each
CPU

I thought that because of CPU affinity, my remaining process was going to be
assigned to the same CPU (at least as long as there isn't enough non niced
work to keep the other CPU busy)

Is this expected behavior for the scheduler?
(I am running on 2.2.7)

Thanks,
Marc
