+ * on exit: not idle task" indicate that a non-idle task is erroneously
  * toying with the idle loop.
  *
  * These events also take a pair of numbers, which indicate the nesting
  * depth before and after the event of interest.  Note that task-related
- * events use the upper bits of each number, while interrupt-related
- * events use the lower bits.
+ * and interrupt-related events use two separate counters, and that the

+ * otherwise by one.
