Hi Guys,

The Linux tthread.inc file in FPC 2.2.4 refers:

There is a constant array defined at line 55 that lists 'priority' values
which I think are inverted. i.e. Currently, the listed values range from -20 
to +19 and these map to tpIdle to tpRealtime. According to man nice(1), 
Nicenesses range from -20 (most favorable scheduling) to 19 (least favorable 
scheduling).

The comment on line 54 should perhaps be reworded to reflect that although 
it's not implemented in the current release, the user is free to use the 
values if he so wishes. It's not stupid, one never knows what the next guy 
will do with ones code.

If the above has been sorted for the next release, that's cool.

Regards,
Nino
