Hi.
After porting some stable worked on 2.4 apps to 2.6 I've noticed
spurious traps N14 in legacy rtf_put function. While investingating this
problem I've found an testcase - take an kernel latency example and simple
add somewere at latency-module.c big global variable :
static char unused[1024 * 1024 * 8];
and run the example - you will receive something like :
....
RTAI 3.1-test3 mounted over Adeos 2.6r5/x86.
RTAI[malloc] loaded (global heap size=131072 bytes).

Tested with latest vesuvio cvs, UP, different kernel configs and two
different gcc - 3.3.3 and 3.4.0, hardware is ASUS P4 notebook L3H on SIS
96x chipset. If someone interested can supply any additional info.
