If I just run latency, I get the segfault:

[root@domain.hid webb-ja]# cd /usr/xenomai/testsuite/latency/
[root@domain.hid latency]# /sbin/modprobe xeno_native
[root@domain.hid latency]# ./latency
== Sampling period: 100 us
== Test mode: periodic user-mode task
== All results in microseconds
Segmentation fault


If I try to run gdb on it, it just hangs when I type the "r" command:

[root@domain.hid webb-ja]# cd /usr/xenomai/testsuite/latency/
[root@domain.hid latency]# /sbin/modprobe xeno_native
[root@domain.hid latency]# gdb latency

At this point, the terminal is locked, and I have to use kill -9 from another terminal.  I did some googling on the error message and found this thread:

Any hints on what I am doing wrong?  Sorry, if I am doing something silly and don't realize it.

Thanks,
