Problem with eCos stack and data corruption

Here's another example. While running IN THE ISS (simulator) the test "stress_threads.c", I've got the following error:

"

INFO:<Stress threads test compiled on Feb 14 2005>

State dump 1 (0 hours, 1 minutes) [numbers >>0]

Handler-invocations: 4 4 4 4 3 3 3 3 2 2 2 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 0

malloc()-tries/failures: -- 3700 0

client_makes_request: 0

Memory system: Total=0x000ba6a0 Free=0x000ba47c Max=0x000ba47c

Stack usage:

Error! : Failed memory access in component cpu - Reading data 0x12f1d3 from uninitialised memory (addr = 0x8ff000)

cpu::nios2ModelRun: ERROR: [19761461] load signed byte access to address 0x8ff000 returned uninitialized memory (valid mask=0x0)

"

The Nios I am using only has a timer, flash and RAM. The eCos packages are ONLY the default from the "Nios II development board", "default".

So one would expect that the eCos tests, with the minimum Nios2 configuration and the default kernel worked, isn&#39;t it?

Any idea?
