I tried to your program: I couldn't make it fail under PREEMPT_RT. No
matter what the termination value for the while loop in the priority 10
thread I put in the priority 50 thread printed the same "Dif:".
I also put in a global variable, thread_done, which I set in the priority
10 thread after the loop and printed it out along with "Dif:". It was not
set. I also tried to add exit(1) at the end of the priority 10 thread...

I see no odd behaviour.
