Hi,

just to save my current finding and maybe trigger some feedback:

We just tried both 2.3.x-SVN and trunk with our "reference robot". While
2.3.x behaves fine, weird things happened with trunk /wrt some serial
device. We saw reception timeouts and no serial IRQs.

So I fired up a second box with plain latency test (all the latest: SVN,
2.6.19.2, ipipe-i386-1.6-06):

Houston, I think we have a problem.

Periodic mode is on, but all skins are using the master time base. I
suspect some time conversion issues. I'll try to dig deeper -- later.
