[ECOS] eCos semaphores on ARM-E7T question..

[Ali Sina]

Hi,

I am building an application using threads and the semaphoring 
infrastructure of eCos.

All works as expected until I extend one of my structs to include an 
additional  array of 16 chars.
This breaks the application, and what seems to happen is that this 
additional entry makes (at least) one of my semaphores not react anymore. 
Hence the threads waiting for that semaphore hangs..

Has anyone seen this behavior before? I have inspected my code and found 
nothing suspicious in the memory allocation routines. Also, doubling the 
stack sizes of all threads did not help either - same behavior.

Adding more data to another struct (as a test) does not cause the break. 
Also, so far gcc has always complained when I crossed the memory bounds, so 
I am not quite sure where to look..

Any help is much applreciated. Many thanks in advance,

Ali
