You should give the latest one I released a try. Maybe it will lock less
frequently, it has a couple of fixes for BUG warnings :-) That would be
2.6.26.8-1.rt13.4... It all depends on your usage patterns and your
hardware, it might be also an option to run the Fedora kernel. 

Hopefully we will have a better rt patch in the 2.6.28 timeframe, but I
have not heard anything (loud) yet.
