I've been running it for a week now on a system somewhat like yours.  I
can't say that I've had unexplained crashes.  I've had several during my tk
writing sessions but I attribute them to my own humanity.

I'll assume that you are using the released tkemc rather than the one on
linuxcnc.org.  That one is script enabled and I did find a small bug that
will hang on the tk_filedialog routine ocasionally.  

I hung my machine several times while setting up PERIOD -- 0.000025 and I
can see that linux is getting short shrift.  But you shouldn't have that
problem with servo's.  Are you using the same display times in both ini's?
