Ulrich, Andrew, Manfred,

This should be working, but for some reason rlim[RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE].rlim_cur of
all tasks is 0, remembering it sets init_tasks's value at ipc/mqueue.c's __init function:

	init_task.rlim[RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE].rlim_cur = 64;
	init_task.rlim[RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE].rlim_max = 64;

Probably something stupid.

It may be interesting to move the mqueue pending count to the new task at "setuid()",
