Re: [rvm-research] Implementation of setPriority/getPriority for RVMThread (RVM-750)

Following on from this, classpath does not appropriately query the VM
thread when creating children.  This means that new threads do not
inherit priority (if it is set while they are running).  This applies
equally to unmodified JikesRVM.

The attached patch (applied to classpath) fixes this.
