OK, thanks for the explanation.

I used -n3 and -n16 but vkernel didn't crash or hang in either cases,
so I tried it on the real kernel too, but so far all tests ran fine and
I haven't managed to crash :).
Oh, t_mq_send failed at line 56 after raising kern.mqueue.mq_prio_max to 200,
but if I put it back to default (32), the test passes. Is it expected too?

Cheers.
