And here is why I say it is wrong... rtl/unix/tthread.inc

  TThreadPriority = (tpIdle, tpLowest, tpLower, tpNormal, tpHigher, tpHighest,
    tpTimeCritical);


const
  // stupid, considering its not even implemented...
  Priorities: array [TThreadPriority] of Integer =
   (-20,-19,-10,0,9,18,19);


Here -20 is tpIdle, but in the quoted text from my previous email, dynamic
priority of -20 is real-time which should then be tpTimeCritical.  The
comment in the code is also not very reassuring!
