SYSV IPC problems

We have an application here that relies heavily on SYSV semaphores and
message queues for IPC. The problem is that under heavy system loads
(lots of swapping), either a message queue loses a message or a semaphore
doesn't get decremented when it should. Does anyone know of any
bugs in the IPC code relating to this, or perhaps related to being
knocked off a pending semaphore call by a signal? We are running
Sys V Rel 2 Version 2, if that's any help. Please reply
directly to me at ...!ihnp4!cbm!hutch!barber, and I will summarize
to the net. Thanks in advance.
