I didn't know there *was* such a thing. Thanks for the tip! For those  
who might be interested, the list is here:

FYI, I got my code working and it is in the latest release of posix_ipc:
http://semanchuk.com/philip/posix_ipc/

The function MessageQueue_request_notification() does some necessary  
setup and the function process_notification() does the rest of the work.
