The application threads (prio 6) where waiting on counting semaphore posted by init thread (prio 1). The semaphores got posted from the init thread after the network_init (DHCP) was run. So the app threads blocked the network from running. That's why after the system was running all the broadcasts finally came in from the network card buffers.

Thanks all for the help.

Was this thread busy looping? That is the only way i can think of it
stopping the system running.
