[etherlab-users] ethercos: memory allocation problem fix.

[Andreas Stewering-Bone]

Hello Len,

You should run as root to get propper realtime priorities.
You can reduce the memory usage at runtime, please have a look at  
executable -u and look for stacksize

Generally I have to say that EtherCOS is still in alpha state. I am 
working on a new release working on XCos and Scicos but there is much 
work to do. The problem is that I work on this project in my free time 
(conflicts with family and busy job). So there is a lack of time. If you 
want to do further work on it feel free to do this and yes there is a 
repository. If you like I can grant you access rights
