Thread#priority still doesn't work

Description

=begin
Hi,

In [ruby-dev:33124], it was reported that Thread#priority didn't work properly. Apparently, it still doesn't work: test_priority still randomly fails during 'make tests-all'.

Example script:
c1 = c2 = 0
t1 = Thread.new { loop { c1 += 1 } }
t1.priority = -1
t2 = Thread.new { loop { c2 += 1 } }
t2.priority = -3
sleep 5
t1.kill
t2.kill
puts "#{c1} #{c2} #{c1 > c2}"

Output:
$ while true; do ruby1.9 t.rb ; done
38282412 29165036 true
62366432 412710 true
