I assume std::priority_queue can't be used, because it uses a
std::vector which will, under the covers, allocate memory from the
stack.

It would be interesting to try to write an STL queue-like container
with an allocator that grabbed chunks of memory from a pool in an
RT-safe way. Maybe via message-passing over a ringbuffer? Anyone
seen/have such a thing?
