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.
