This would be my suggestion too.

The BCM tries to fulfill the TX cycle as precise as possible.
When Markus adds 12/13 TX jobs at a time these jobs are very close to each 
other from CAN frame duration perspective. So the jobs trigger nearly at the 
same time, generate a pile-up in the tx queue and the tx frames get dropped.

So you can try to stretch the BCM setup in the way that you don't get pileups:

- at creation time (wait between syscalls)
- by using the two timer values and switch after one frame to the wanted cycle

Or increase the txqueuelen - but you would still have a pile-up of frames 
which is probably not wanted at the receiver too (processing time issues).

Regards,
Oliver
