Description 
The comment of bge_receive() says:

    351  * The routine returns only when a complete scan has been performed
    352  * without finding any packets to receive.

After fix 6498937, it's no longer true. The routine can return also after receiving certain number of packets (BGE_MAXPKT_RCVED and more) leaving some packets in a ring to be received later.
