[En-Nut-Discussion] serial communication receive task hangup

[Henrik Maier]

I would definitely upgrade to 4.1.9. This version contains a set of 
stability fixes concerning event handling which helped me to solve 
lock-ups in a similar application.

 From the ChangeLog "... Event and timer handling re-design, again. This 
fixes a bug, which possibly existed since version 3.9.8 and freezes 
threads under heavy load..."
