Hi All,

I have the following problem on a MPC5200b customer board,
tested with linux-2.6.24.7-rt11 and 2.6.26.8-rt16.

I start the test application. Every 200ms I can see a new 
line on the console ("ping"). Then I set the time with "date
100509152009" a few times on
a second console. The effect is that the output on the first console
freezes and if I check
the time with "date", the time doesn't progress during the "freeze
time". After the 
"freeze time" the time makes a jump of several seconds.

In the real application the "ping" should reset the watchdog-timer. The
freezing causes
an elapsing of the watchdog-timer and finally a reboot.

Has someone an idea?

With friendly regards,
Markus Mehlan
