Subj : mq_receive blocks, shouldn't

Hi;

  I have an existing queue, and I opened it with

         mq_open("foo", O_RDONLY | O_NONBLOCK);

I'm also doing mq_setattr with an attr struct with mq_flags set to 
O_NONBLOCK.

I'm calling mq_receive on it, and the receive call is blocking (the 
queue is empty).  But it should just return -1 with errno set to EAGAIN, 
shouldn't it?!?

  Oh - this is on solaris 2.9.

Thanks for any ideas.

Alex
