The MAXWAIT directive specifies the maximum length of time that a
thread may be "starved" for CPU cycles. If a thread fails to receive
the CPU for MAXWAIT seconds because of other, higher-priority threads
in the system, its priority will be temporarily adjusted upwards so
that it can make some forward progress. If PRIORITY=ABSOLUTE, the
MAXWAIT directive has no effect.
Directive syntax: MAXWAIT = n (1-255 seconds)
Default value: 3
Multiple occurrences: No
Affects protected mode: Yes
Affects real mode: Yes
Example: MAXWAIT = 1
