I appreciate your help. I will try your suggestions, will be a few days before I can get to it however. Will keep you posted if I figure out anything.

I am running BDI 4.38 with Jon's PPMC cards and a Bostomatic mill. Today running a Meshcam file to do some engraving in wood the EMC would just stop like it was paused.
Having spent most of the day running your nc file, I have been unable to replicate your intermittant pause with either emc-1.0-38 or emc-1.0-46.. I will not rule out the possibility of a bug somewhere in the code, and while I look for possible causes, could you do some checks your end.
Booting the BDI-4.xx CD, one of the boot options is memtest86 - Run this for a few hours and see if any memory errors are reported.. If thepause happens again when running EMC, check /proc/emc/status and see if Heartbeat is still incrementing. Checking dmesg for any odd messages after ppmcmod has loaded is also worth doing - It is possible RTAI has trapped an exception and halted the execution of the realtime code.
