RTLinux has an array of buffers to store registers during fake interrupt
processing. The reason for this array is to keep the kernel stack from
overflowing. What's happening is that the RTLinux interrupt emulator
is being flooded with interrupts. A possible scenario is
           see interrupt X is pending
               call the handler
                     handler renables interrupt X
                     and does a long operation during which X happens again
                     and does a sti
                         calling the RTL emulator
                              which finds interrupt X is  pending
                                           ....

Interrupt X may be the timer.
Or it may be a RTLinux bug. What's the version information? 
Try using the SLOW_PRINTF config option if you are in V3.
