How do you plan to test this?

Nor should there be.  The main() thread is implicitly made an "epics"
thread in epicsThreadInit().  In osdThread.c look for a call to
init_threadInfo() in once().

Seems like epicsThreadSetPriority() is missing a call to
epicsThreadInit().  Not sure if there are an side-effects to adding this.

You can verify this by adding a call to epicsThreadGetIdSelf() at some
point before the call to epicsThreadSetPriority().

I think a fix is necessary, but in osdThread.c rather than ringPointerTest.c
