for unknown reasons, the values accepted by verbose() and logpost() have an offset.
Why? Oh why?
i've been involved in that code, and i don't have an anwer :-(
If we let PD_CRITICAL start at 5 (or even higher), then both verbose() and logpost() can differentiate between the old and the new log levels and add the respective offsets.
if (loglevel >= PD_CRITICAL) { // new log level } else { // old log level }
ah well, but there's externals that happen to use even higher loglevels. one could of course shift the PD_CRITICAL to e.g. 1000 or so to be on the safe side. but then: why not fix the offending libraries instead?
