Ming has narrowed it down to a comparision issue
between arguments with different sizes and
signs. As result event index reached a wrong
value which in turn led to a GP fault.

At the same time it was found that p4_next_cntr
has broken logic and should return the counter
index only if it was not yet borrowed for
another event.
