Could this be a problem with the xenomai handles (or handled) userspace
threads? Is it worth seeing if we can recreate this problem in kernel
threads in insmod?

Just a quick update.  I haven't had a chance to do as you suggested
(2.6.23 w/2.4.5), but will get to it when I have a chance.  My previous
post was incorrect.  The older version of the app was somewhat
different.  We recreated the environment that was on on the app backup
flash with Xenomai 2.6.23.12 w/ Xenomai r3415.  The newer version of the
app still  exhibits floating point errors on this older platform.  Yet
we ran the simple test program numerous times on the older platform and
did not see any incorrect behavior.  I am attempting to make a
determination as to what in the larger app causes the floating point
issue to arise.

Could you test 2.6.23 with Xenomai 2.4.5? This way we would know if we
are looking for a problem in the I-pipe patch or in Xenomai.
