Nope, raising the MPLAB task priority (it has no threads) will do nothing
since it is DELIBERATELY waiting for messages, and until one arrives, will
do nothing, irrespective of its priority. This behaviour is not unique to
running under Win32, BTW. It does exactly the same thing under Win3.1.

Any conspiracy theorists out there?
