+BUG correction 1st part -------------------
+It looks like there is an issue with ARM7 IRQ masking in the CPSR register
+which leads to crashes in Nucleus+ scheduler.
+Basically the code below  (correct as LOCKOUT = 0xC0) is used in many places by N+ but do not 
+prevent from having an interrupt after the execution of the third line (I mean execution, not 
+fetch).
+        MRS     a1,CPSR                     ; Pickup current CPSR
+        ORR     a1,a1,#LOCKOUT              ; Build interrupt lockout value
+        MSR     CPSR,a1                     ; Lockout interrupts
+       * IRQ INTERRUPT ! *
+       Next instructions...
+
+SW workaround:
+When a task is interrupted at this point an interrupted context is stored on its task and will 
+be resumed later on at the next instruction but to make a long story short it leads to some 
+problem as the OS does not expect to be interrupted there.
+Further testing tends to show that the CPSR *seems* to be loaded with the proper masking value 
+but that the IRQ is still triggered (has been hardwarewise requested during the instruction 
+exectution by the ARM7 core?)
