>Description:
      The "top" program shows a NICE value of -111 for programs started by
idprio 31.  On 4.X, the "correct" value of 52 is shown.
>How-To-Repeat:
      As root, run "idprio 31 sleep 500 &".
Then run "top -Uroot".  The sleep process is listed as having a NICE value
of -111.  Other values besides 31 produce the same result.
>Fix:
      My guess is that it's probably in /usr/src/usr.bin/top/machine.c about line 747 or so, but I haven't had time to dig into it.
