The manual says: "The priority of auxiliary threads spawned by the CA client 
library are at fixed offsets from the priority of the thread that called 
ca_context_create()."

It does not say whether these threads have higher or lower priority compared 
to one that called ca_context_create. I want to know this because I'd like 
to employ a single-writer / multiple-reader algorithm that needs no locks 
but works only if the writer has priority higher than or equal to the 
readers.

Cheers
Ben
