You are sharing buffers with kernel space using RT_QUEUEs. If anything goes 
wrong writing to this address space, you may well end up corrupting some kernel 
data, including some internal Xenomai data structures. The fact that looking at 
/proc/xenomai crashes the system is telling, since the backing code may attempt 
to scan such data structures.

Since you also have your own driver running, this might be another source for 
the issue. Non-reg tests did not reveal any issue with RT_QUEUEs so far.
