Trying to use the GL queue for interprocess communication is really gross.
Use one of the many real IPC mechanisms available under IRIX.

If you need to check for activity on both your GL queue and your IPC file
descriptors, open the special file /dev/queue and add its file descriptor to
the list you are handing to select.  A select on /dev/queue indicates there
is data available in you GL input queue.
