I wasn't exactly sure what Victor meant here, but I decided he was
suggesting letting the "clock" thread do its delaying via nanosleep()
instead of using pthread_make_periodic_np().
I modified the program slightly to that end. The "clock" thread
(priority 4) now "sleeps" for 1 ms (verified via gethrtime()) after
being woken up by another controlling thread (priority 2). After
awaking, it sets ALARM to 1.
The main thread, in the meantime, is sitting at:
while (!ALARM) {}
I ran everything ... and right, you guessed it ... the machine "locked
up" hanging in the above 'while' statement.
I must be doing something *really* stupid. Any ideas are *most* welcomed!
