Problem with stack sizes

Hi,

in my application, I use 4 tasks:
 - INIT with a stack size of RTEMS_MINIMUM_STACK_SIZE,
 - T1 with a stack size of 2*RTEMS_MINIMUM_STACK_SIZE,
 - T2 with a stack size of 10*RTEMS_MINIMUM_STACK_SIZE, and
 - T3 with a stack size of RTEMS_MINIMUM_STACK_SIZE.

Thus, I have set
#define CONFIGURE_EXTRA_TASK_STACKS (10*RTEMS_MINIMUM_STACK_SIZE)
in my RTEMS configuration.

The calls to rtems_task_create() succeed. However, the application
crashes. (I'm quite confident that the stack sizes themselves are
ok.)

If I instead set
#define CONFIGURE_EXTRA_TASK_STACKS (11*RTEMS_MINIMUM_STACK_SIZE)
everything works as expected.

Could it be that using the "sharp" value for the extra task stacks
does not work because RTEMS uses different (i.e. larger) stack
sizes internally than those specified in rtems_task_create()?

If so, why do the calls to rtems_task_create() succeed nevertheless?

RTEMS-4.6.5 on leon2.

Cheers
    Ingolf
