The next time all systems will be based on RT-Linux.  We will not use
Windows in any time critical systems again, using Windows for such
tasks is plain wrong.  Right now I am doing some investigations on
what will happen when the jiffie-counter goes full, as it will after
497 days since last reboot.  If nobody cuts the power, uptimes like
that will be reached in a project I am working on, and we must figure
out how we should deal with this thing.  Besides hardware problems,
this is the only problem I am expecting regarding unstability in
RT-Linux.

To test jiffs wrap around you can set jiffs to -(HZ*60*10) to have wrapping
happen 10minutes after booting. Look for jiffs=0 or so in the linux source.
