<p class="MsoNormal">I'm currently testing the bulk transfer implementation and I'm having some issues. As I want to be able to send from core 0 to core 1 and from 1 to 0 large amounts of data, I'm creating two bulk memory regions. One master to core 0 and
another master to core 1. When creating this link there are two caprefs sent, one from core 0 to 1 and the other on the opposite way. In this case, the test hangs. When there is only one being sent, the example works well.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Do you have any clues about this? I attach the example.<br clear="all">
