LynxOS is real-time, off-the-shelf, general-purpose, and POSIX
compliant, as well.  We used it on space station, and it was 
pretty nice.  Tasks mapped to threads, etc.

It was faster on an IBM PS2 66 MHz than HP-UX BLS was on HP's
own 150 MHz MIPS processor.  And according to the HP reps HP's
real-time OS was a re-wrapped LynxOS, but I don't know if that's
still true.  We moved to NT before we ever got to try HP's
real-time OS.

QNX is real-time, off-the-shelf and general-purpose, as well as
POSIX-compliant.  (At least according to QNX blurb.)  Has anyone
considered QNX for use on warships...?
