Sigh.  Such flaming about such small issues.  I have to admit that I
agree on Matt on this one.  The change (vis-a-vis run and setting
priority to -5) has been made several times, but keeps on getting
lost due to some disagreement here.  Beta-2 had is set to 5 less that
the parents priority (better than an absolute -5).

Beta-4 will leave the priority of the child task the same as the parents.
Undoubtedly some will think this is a change for the worse.
