I have been battling with this all morning. I close with

do{
	ret=rt_dev_close(can_fd);
	//printf("%d",ret)
while(ret!=-9)

but this only works (without fail) if I uncomment the printf line. I 
have now tried to put in a sleep(1) command instead but due to the crash 
caused  by commenting out hte crash (does not come out of loop) I am now 
trying to save my filesystem. :( :(.

I call the rt_dev_close in non-real time code if that is what you are 
asking. Same with the init AFAIK. I will post the code if I can retrieve it.
