My best guess is that the application receiving the pointer via the message queue has not yet allocated memory for the length of the string.
Just a guess... however. It has been a long time since I worked with message queues.

mqueue.h
mqueue.h(3HEAD) Headers mqueue.h(3HEAD)
NAME
mqueue.h, mqueue - message queues
SYNOPSIS
#include <mqueue.h>
DESCRIPTION
The <mqueue.h> header defines the mqd_t type, which is used for message queue descriptors. This will not be an array type. A message
queue descriptor may be implemented using a file descriptor, in which case applications can open up to at least OPEN_MAX file and message
queues.
The <mqueue.h> header defines the sigevent structure (as described in <signal.h>, see signal.h(3HEAD)) and the mq_attr structure, which is
used in getting and setting the attributes of a message queue. Attributes are initially set when the message queue is created. A mq_attr
structure has the following members:
long mq_flags message queue flags
long mq_maxmsg maximum number of messages
long mq_msgsize maximum message size
long mq_curmsgs number of messages currently queued
Inclusion of the <mqueue.h> header may make visible symbols defined in the headers <fcntl.h>, <signal.h>, <sys/types.h>, and <time.h>.
ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
| ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE |

|Interface Stability |Standard |
