[ECOS]tm_basic (memory) problem

[Andrea Acquaviva <aacquaviva at deis dot unibo dot it>]

Hi all,
I run into problems while running tm_basic tests. The tests hangs as
soon as it reaches the assignment of nsamples in tm_basic_main. The
other tests don't have problems. I found that the dimension of the
executable is quite strange:

    text       data     bss                      dec
hex     filename
  26924    5124 23368684        23400732        165111c
install/tests/kernel/current/tests/tm_basic

I have 64MB of sdram installed on my board, so I don't think that this
should be a problem. However, the strange thing is that the dimension is
so great even if I comment all the code starting from:
new_thread(run_all_tests, 0).

Summarizing, what I observed is that if I do a reference to a static
defined variable like nsamples or nmutexes the size of the executable
increases a lot and the program hangs.

Thanks for your help,
Andrea.
