You need to dig in a little bit more. From what I understand, there is<br>
the last_user_extensions_iterator field of the TCB. That is probably<br>
where you are running into some trouble. See<br>
score/src/userextiterate.c :193 where this field gets assigned to a<br>
stack-local variable. </blockquote><div><br></div><div>I get an exception just before this when _Chain_Iterator_initialize() is called, the reason though is the same, accessing </div><div>a stack-local variable of a switched out thread.
