The latest RHEL7 still shows the error msgrcv: No message of desired type
if msgrcv() is called with negative arguments within 32-bit applications.
It is in Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 1042807 but as we dont have RHN Support
anymore we cant take a ticket there.
I have tested the kernel-lt-3.10.37-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64 and kernel-ml-3.14.1-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64
on CentOS-6 and the 3.10.37 still show the problem, while its fixed in 3.14
The fix is very small ( see attachment ), but I dont know what is the
best way to get it fixed in the 3.10 kernels too.
