msgrcv crash in AIX 5.3 SP6

Hi All,

I have a piece of code like blow. It is working fine with AIX 5.3 SP3. When the same thing is getting executed in AIX 5. SP6 it is giving segmentation fault. If I put debug statements before and after, it works fine.

rc = msgrcv(mqid, &msg, size, HIGH_PRIORITY_FIRST , 0)
if (rc > 0) {
/* message was recieved (waiting or not) */
memset (buf, NULL, sizeof(MsgBuffer));
memcpy (buf, &msg.message, rc);
}

Can somebody help me what is happening here? Do you think any restriction of message queues is creating the problem.

Thanks,
Sandhya,

crashdc(8)						      System Manager's Manual							crashdc(8)

NAME
crashdc - Diagnostic data collection for a running or crashed system SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/crashdc [system-kernel] [core-image] DESCRIPTION
The crashdc utility examines the core image of the operating system to extract critical diagnostic data. This utility is a shell script that invokes several tools and commands that extract selected parameters of a running or a crashed system (for example, system configura- tion, running processes, and panic messages). The arguments to the crashdc utility are the system kernel and the core image. The default values are /vmunix and /dev/mem, respectively. If you specify no arguments, the crashdc utility examines the running system. The system usually invokes the crashdc utility during system startup. If the most recent core dump has been saved by the savecore command, both the core image and the system kernel (respectively vmcore.n and vmunix.n, where the variable n is the crash number) are saved in the crash directory (by default, /var/adm/crash). Also, the crashdc utility saves the output as the file crash-data.n (where the variable n is the crash number) in the crash directory. The crashdc utility is invoked only if crash-data.n output in the crash directory does not exist or is not from the most recent crash. FILES
