Hi,

there is a bug in kernel 2.6.37 (fixed in 2.6.37.1, see commit 
1cdc65e1400d863f28af868ee1e645485b04f5ed) which blocks RT threads during 
creation. They stick to a certain CPU core for a certain amount of time 
(sometimes minutes ...) before they are migrated to the proper core and run 
as expected.

Philippe, Gilles, maybe you could generate a new i-pipe patch based on the 
newest 2.6.37-series kernel. I patched a 2.6.37.6 kernel with adeos-
ipipe-2.6.37-x86-2.9-00.patch and the problem was gone.

Ok, I'll handle this. I have some patches from Jan which have been
pending for too long in my tree to add to this one.
