Hi Alain,
The system will lock-up and eventually reboot. This is because it tries
to keep up with absolute time, rather than slip deadlines. Depending on
your point of view, this can be right/wrong. IMHO I would prefer a
scheduler that allowed slips, but reports the problem. This is
something we plan to do in the near future (how near depends on
bandwidth :-)
