Hi


Sys V ipc (at least the calls related to shared mem and messages queues)
seems to _not_ be implemented as system calls. 

Indeed, ktrace/kdump wont records them as system calls (even if the
manpage for shmat is in section 2 ;=)

I experienced the following: 

- msgrcv() with IPC_NOWAIT return EWOULDBLOCK instead of ENOMSG (Linux
and Sys V)

- a process can have no more than 8 shared mem segments

Is the above right ?

Can one confirm/infirm  ?

Tia
