Remove dead message queues - not relevant for v8

We found the commands "ipcs" and "ipcrm" that can show and remove unwanted Message Queues (and besides that: Semaphores and Shared Memory).
To show the Message Queues being used on a system, you type

"ipcs -q"

You will then see all the Message Queues, the Message Queue number and the owner of these (and more depending on the options specify for ipcs).

You can then use

"ipcrm -q "

to remove the "lost" message queue(s).
We have found no documentation on how many Message Queues are available on a certain (OS) system, or if there are any limitation to a specific user, or you have a common pool.
