... but we only use a subset of those priorities.

Fixed by doing as I originally suggested and setting the thread priority
to something in the middle before running the testPair() subroutines. I
committed that change.

Now I'm getting a failure in scanIoTest on VxWorks 5.5.2, 68K:

***** scanIoTest *****
1..10

ok  1 - No out-of-order processing
not ok  2 - All per-record process counters match number of loops

This was apparently caused by the test not waiting long enough for the
callback threads to finish because changing the epicsThreadSleep() delay
from 0.1 to 1.0 was enough to resolve that.

Committed.

Now all tests pass on vxWorks-68040. More tomorrow.
