Stack full or something else?

[Gedare Bloom]

João,

You can configure extra space for all of your tasks like this:
  #define CONFIGURE_EXTRA_TASK_STACKS (RTEMS_MINIMUM_STACK_SIZE * ??)
Where you put ?? to make it a multiple of min stack size, or you can just
put an arbitrary number of bytes.

Otherwise you can increase the stack_size argument to rtems_task_create for
a particular task.

You might also try configuring with CONFIGURE_STACK_CHECKER_ENABLED
defined.  It does some extra checks for stack bounds and might give you a
tighter window for debugging where the problem is occurring.
