"Code Error" with RegisterRepeatingTimer

[d235j]

We have tried using the sample code provided here (replacing the IFI Vex headers with FRC controller headers).
However, this code triggers a code error on our RC.
Basically, the printf("_____________________\r\r"); line executes several times, then is interrupted for 3-5 seconds, then repeats, and IR input does nothing at all. After a few repetitions, the CODE ERROR light comes on. (This is all in autonomous mode).

After commenting out EVERYTHING inside the CheckIR function (leaving only void CheckIR(void) { } ), and commenting out the IR processing code (but leaving printf("_____________________\r\r"); inside the while loop) ), this problem still happens.

We are using the latest version of WPILib on a 2008 RC. Also, there are no compile-time warnings or errors.
