Keep cool, I know the fears of Laurent.
There are to many stupid programmers out there, who would try to add
something like that into system management related programs. Couldn't go
worser. Even if it works, at the first glance, it is error prone, and
the next who change message size of one process, will break the chain,
and possibly smash the system (as running with root privileges).
Laurent just overlooked my lead in "just for curiosity". And (again)
that's it: curiosity.
... at least until reactions have bean standardized, clearly documented
(not same as former), and guarantied.
