Hello,

I recently gave a presentation to a SigAda chapter meeting describing
one of our Ada products. During the discussion of tasking someone asked
how we handle the "priority inversion problem".  I explained that I
didn't know the term and could he be more specific. Well before he
got into it, someone else told him that it was "a problem with the
language, not an implementation so it should be fixed in the language".
Both of these folks left before I could talk to them further. Anyway,
can anyone out there enlighten me as to what they were discussing?
Our local Ada wizards have never heard of this. Or at least not by that
name.

Thanks.
