This behavior typically indicates that there's an issue with Fiasco's
timer interrupt or with the user-level one in L4Linux.
For a start you could add e.g. a printk(".\n") in timer_thread in
arch/l4/kernel/timer.c to see if it really does something.
Does 'hello' work?
Although it's a bit of work you could also compare the code of your
snapshot and a recent one if there's any significant change (i.e. fix)
that might be relevant. Check arch/l4/kernel/timer.c
and src/kern/arm/timer-arm-generic.cpp and
src/kern/arm/generic_timer.cpp in the Fiasco kernel.
