 * threads, or pSoS threads.  Note, however, that it is
 * generally a better idea to use the ACE_Thread_Manager
 * programming API rather than the <ACE_Thread> API since the

   * and @a t_handle are set to the thread's ID and handle (?),
   * respectively.  The thread runs at @a priority priority (see
   * below).
   *
   * The @a flags are a bitwise-OR of the following:
   * = BEGIN<INDENT>

   * ACE_DEFAULT_THREAD_PRIORITY, an "appropriate" priority value for
   * the given scheduling policy (specified in @a flags, e.g.,
   * @c THR_SCHED_DEFAULT is used.  This value is calculated
   * dynamically, and is the median value between the minimum and
   * maximum priority values for the given policy.  If an explicit
   * value is given, it is used.  Note that actual priority values are
   * EXTREMELY implementation-dependent, and are probably best
   * avoided.

   * Note that @a thread_adapter is always deleted when @a spawn
   * is called, so it must be allocated with global operator new.
