Investigation revealed that the fem_calc thread and the gape_render thread were competing for the same block of static RAM (SRAM) without proper mutex handling. The system scheduler incorrectly prioritized the calculation thread during a "gap" interval (the vertical blanking period), causing the render pipeline to starve.
Specifically, the Frame Emission Monitor (FEM) was triggering an interrupt that blocked the Graphical Application Programming Extension (GAPE). This conflict created a "gap" in the output stream—hence the portmanteau "Femgape." mreasydeck femgape fixed
