You are very kind, thanks.

It's a defect in the test case which I've fixed and pushed it in my
git repository in leaf.
JFYI, although not required, you can pull the changes by doing:

cd path/to/pcca-tests
git pull

The problem is that maximum priorities limit in your system was set to
200 and my test case erroneously thinks that it's 32.
And it expects mq_send(..., 64) to fail. I repeat, I have fixed this.

See the 200->200 ? Old value was 200 that's why t_mq_send test failed.

Yep, that's ok. These tests were designed to use 100 priority queues,
so allowing only 32 will make them fail no matter what. I should
check, though, the current value for `kern.mqueue.mq_prio_max' and
print a user friendly message, if the requirements aren't met. Rather
than let assert() fail and give user the impression that something
terrible happened.

Good thing is that your machine didn't crash, lock, whatever!
Thanks again, if you find yourself in Greece, I'll buy you a beer anytime :)

otherwise disturbing.
