[ECOS] Clock problem with eCos 1.3.1 using uITRON compatibility

[jecer at Rational dot Com]

Hello,

I am using eCos 1.3.1 with uITRON compatibility on the i386 pc target. The
kernel is almost default. It was created by:

> ecosconfig new pc uitron
> ecosconfig resolve
> ecosconfig check
> ecosconfig tree

The only thing that I changed is the memory layout. Anyhow, here is the
problem.

It seems that the clock is not working at all. Any call to dly_tsk() and to
tslp_tsk() will not return even when supplied with a positive argument. I
also tried the supplied uITRON compatibility tests. test1 hangs after the
first call to dly_tsk(), and testintr fails with the following:

I believe that these are all symptoms of the same problem. Any help with
this is greatly appreciated.

Thank you
