If it was the latter, it was too clever for me to spot it:
 
     AccessError exception thrown on thread 1.
     Location Information: [2 entries]
     Location entry #: 0
       function:|Thread::setPriority(|Application::PriorityClass, unsigned int)
       file: ithread.cpp
       line: 1315
     Location entry #: 1
       function: main(int,char**)
       file: e:\ns-11\ns\cmd\os2fe\nvmain.cpp
       line: 262.
     Error ID is 309 Exception text is:
       DosSetPriority:No error text is available.
 
OS/2 also obliged (I have SUPPRESSPOPUPS set in CONFIG.SYS):

Deliberate, it wasn't.
