As you suggest, I expected to get real time priorities by setting the
task priorities with pragma Priority and then running the program as
root. That is necessary but not sufficient. The additional required step
was to specify FIFO_Within_Priorities as the task dispatching policy. It
was certainly not obvious from what we had read prior to reading the
source code.
