rtems_message_queue_receive / rtems_event_receive issues

[Catalin Demergian]

This is really strange. If you use cpsid/cpsie around the append_cnt ++
and --, then append_cnt should never be > 1. If this really the case,
then this looks like a processor bug.
-> No, after I saw that it didn't fix the problem I commented the dis/en,
so
the value 2 was obtained without the dis/en in the code.
