Short: Fix for GetMsg() when looped on 060
Author: fw@well.com (Frederick H. G. Wright II)
Uploader: fw@well.com (Frederick H. G. Wright II)
Type: util/boot
Requires: Any Amiga, but primarily helpful on 060
FixGetMsg is a patch to get around a problem that occurs when the Exec
GetMsg() is called in a tight loop on a fast CPU such as the 68060. This
shouldn't happen in well-written code, but dumb code that uses polling of
GetMsg() rather than waiting for a signal may do this. The result can be a
complete lockup of the system due to interrupt exclusion.
