I observed a similar issue when xnpod_stop_timer was called when
shutting down the posix skin. I assumed that the problem was that
xnpod_shutdown already called xnpod_stop_timer, so xnpod_stop_timer (and
in particular xnarch_stop_timer) ended up being called twice.
Err, sorry. Forget about my previous reply: xnarch_stop_timer is _not_
protected by the XNTIMED flag, but only the last part of the
housekeeping chores performed upon stopping the systimer are. IOW,
this is a latent bug, and xnpod_stop_timer should be fixed.
Commit 884 should do that.
Sorry for replying late: nope, this has no influence on our issue.
This fix was not intended to address this issue, but rather to cleanup
the timer management code so that multiple releases as described by
Gilles don't cause havoc anymore, hopefully. So that's ok.
