Gary,

Best place to discuss problems with the rt-tests group (which includes
cyclictest) is the linux-rt-users list (which I've CC'd).=20

We added a modification to affinity in the 0.87 version which allows
the user to specify an arbitrary set of cpus. It's entirely possible we
broke something in doing that.=20

What command line did you use that 0.87 broke?

Clark
