Re: [rtl] malloc, timers, and crashes.

[Loren Frank <loren@neurostat.mgh.harvard.edu>]

Just a quick question on this thread: is there a problem allocating memory in
fifo handlers? I ask because I've been doing so for a while without running
into problems. I have a user space process that sends a message to the rt
process telling it to allocate a large buffer (using mbuff_alloc) and it seems 
to work well. Am I likely to run into problems doing that?

Thanks,

Loren
