A thread wait flags value of 0x02 indicates that this thread used 
rtems_task_wake_after() recently (at least in RTEMS 5, but very likely 
also in RTEMS 4.11.2).

It is a configuration option

#define CONFIGURE_STACK_CHECKER_ENABLED

In the RTEMS shell you can obtain the task stack information with the 
"stackuse" command.
