Does ./msgctl08 1000 16 hang, too?
Nope that doesn't hang. The minimal configuration that hangs reliably is msgctl
50000 2
With this config there are 3 processes.

555 554 root S 1208 0.4 0 0.0 ./msgctl08 50000 2
554 551 root S 1208 0.4 0 0.0 ./msgctl08 50000 2
551 496 root S 1208 0.4 0 0.0 ./msgctl08 50000 2

Is this a case of lost wakeup or some such. I'm running with some more diagnostics
and will report soon ...
What is the output of ipcs -q? Is the queue full or empty when it hangs?
I.e. do we forget to wake up a receiver or forget to wake up a sender?
