Looks a bit inconsistent. I put under "regression" all the tests I have which corresponded to things that failed one time or another in xenomai past.

I can keep the debug output, but the > watchdog test of mayday looks obsolete to me. Am I missing something? The watchdog does two things: it first sends a SIGDEBUG, then if the application is still spinning, it sends a SIGSEGV. As far as I understood, you test tests the first case, and mayday tests the second case, so, I agree that mayday should be removed, but whatever it tests should be integrated in the sigdebug test. -- Gilles.
