L4 error message codes do not match documentation. #161

Description

@ab1aw

I am looking at the error codes on page 64 of the L4 eXperimental Kernel Reference Manual
Version X.2 Document Revision 6 November 17, 2006

The error code values and descriptions in that document do not match the F9 implementation in the file user/include/l4/thread.h

I encountered this issue while debugging an IPC timeout failure when invoking L4_Receive_Timeout(). The error use case was that the sending thread did not call L4_Send() prior to the receiving thread timeout duration expiring. The error message in this case was ' ErrorCode = 0x3 l4_error_invalid_space'. In addition, the thread (app) crashed rather than continuing to process the error and recovering to retry the L4_Receive_Timeout().

My questions:
1 - Should the error codes and descriptions match the aforementioned document?
2 - Should a crash/dump occur upon a timeout when calling L4_Receive_Timeout()?

Thank you.
