I am interested. Just if it helps you figure, I am in my
last year of a MSc. in Information Technology Sciences,
specializing in (Realtime) Operating Systems.

Platforms I work on are the Infineon C16x RISC uC series
and the PowerPC 405x.

My aim is to have a stable and robust TCP/IP stack that
can be used from multiple threads, both privately as for the
company I work for.

The question is whether you to invest some extra efforts
to submit back your experience and work. It costs some,
but you get things back in return.

There are a lot of issues to be resolved; and letting the
list know there is a problem has proven to be a fast way
to get the easier bugs fixed. 

If you feel there are bigger, architectural level problems
(for example in the memory management), bigger
impact decisions can be made.

They have been made earlier, and it worked.

Regards,

Leon.
