Andrew,

Sorry for answering so late (I only saw you e-mail yesterday afternoon).
I have just run msgctl08, setting msgmni to 1722 and turning on the SLAB 
debug:

CONFIG_SLAB=y
CONFIG_SLABINFO=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB_LEAK=y

kernel: linux-2.6.26-rc5-mm1
ltp: ltp-full-20080430

But I could not reproduce the bug.

Will try to investigate more.

Regards,
Nadia
