Subject: RE: asyn driver problem running Linux 3.8.13 with arm processor

Hi Mark,

Last time we discovered that those functions cannot be used in interrupt
service routine and I think that makes sense. 

The queuetask is a message queue created by epicsMessageQueueCreate waiting
interrupt in a thread created by epicsThreadCreate. The strange thing is
that in other arch and Linux, it works fine. Is it anything to do with arm
processor or the 3.8.13 Linux distro or the gcc compiler?

Thanks,
Jim
