Strange but I have no dropouts when running those patchs on my laptop with both alsa and firewire jack backends. So I give a try on 2 others hardware and no matter what I do dropouts are always here ... I think your case was different since I have no crash like " zombified - calling shutdown handler " but "only" watchdog: signaling pd... and dropouts. And troubles arises only when the -rt patch is started with -nogui. Very simple patch like just [osc~] and [dac~] doesnt' trigger the watchdog.
