While not explicitly documented, the 'event_out' is left untouched when
RTEMS_TIMEOUT is returned. Thus, you need to initialize it to 0 before calling
rtems_event_receive() (it's almost always a good idea to initialize all your
variables anyway). Alternatively, check return code and don't use 'event_out'
when something other than RTEMS_SUCCESSFUL is returned.
