Note: This bug appeared when trying to solve the issue above in the PR #269.

Description

It appears that only increasing the number of ports exported by the kernel changing the kernel constants MAILBOX_PORT_NR and KPORTAL_PORT_NR doesn't have the desired effect. When resolving the problem this way, the execution in MPPA-256 fails during the Kernel IKC Tables Initialization and the execution freezes. It may be some hardcoded values in the implementation that aren't coping with the new value of the referred contants are broking the code syntax. Further information is required about this problem.
