Sorry, no - this is the part of the whole application of about 400Kb code.
All I can add that in reality the situation is worse - I have about 10-12 
messages in the queue when the urgent message is sent, but it is received as 
if it is not urgent.
The receiving task is blocked for sure and there are no other receivers. When 
the receiver is unblocked, it stores messages from the queue (which are with 
time stamps also) one by one into the file and there is no sequence or time 
interruption - urgent message is stored the last with its youngest time tag.
While I wanted it to be stored first.

May be I missed something in FIFO queue definitions?
