- It's been pointed out to me that I gave an ambiguous and misleading answer to
- this question (I've *GOT* to remember to EAT before logging in when I wake up
- in the middle of the night). When I said "yes," I meant "yes, you must settle
- for the parent's base priority," not "Yes, you can set the subprocess's
- priority higher than that of the parent process." Sorry for the ambiguity.
