Thanks alot!  i'm working on a fix... it seems rb_sem_set_all is also
broken, for a similar reason.  it's strange that linux was ok with
this and that solaris was not, it's usually the other way around.


regarding the msgbuf struct - are you saying that you've had problems
with that as well?  i'm only using sharedmemory and semaphores.  after
reading the posts regarding this library i'm thinking that the idea of
wrapping the mm lib is a good one - it's designed to be platform
independent....
