Since Xenomai 2.3, actually, no system is supposed to "crash" anymore when IRQ conflicts between the domains arise. But if you loose, e.g., your USB keyboard or your serial console or whatever input device due to a conflict, you may get the impression of a crash. However, if anyone suspects that something else happens on his system, please report the findings to the Xenomai mailing list! Jan
