rtems_wake_after

[Fabio Degiovanni - Eicas]

Dear Jerry Needell,
                                thank you for your help. Some other 
questions: I have sis intalled, where can I find documentation about 
sis? When I use the target sim option in sparc-rtems-gdb do I use sis or 
another simulator?
Where can I find the limitation of sparc-rtems-gdb simulator? In the 
tsim site it is clearly stated the limit of 232 instruction, but I 
didn't find anything for my simulator. I think that you correctly deduce 
that the same limit exists, but is there a document stating clearly this 
limit?
Thank you very much again for you help
