In sys_ia32.c file, in the do_sys32_msgrcv() function call,  the value of
ipck.msgp is interpreted as a 64 bit address, whereas it is a 32 bit
address.
Hence, do_sys32_msgrcv() finally returns EFAULT(bad address) error.
The patch below takes care of this by type casting ipck.msgp to type u32.
The patch is created for 2.5.32 version of the kernel.

David,
      Thanks. Yes, changing the types in the ipc_kludge structure would be
correct way to patch. I have incorporated the change suggested by you in my
code patch.

   Yes, but Dave Millier claims that this patch is still broken, he says
the
   fix needs to be in `ipc_kludge'.  I don't have access to my source tree
   until this evening, have you looked at this?

You didn't read David's patch at all, this is exactly what he is
doing, fixing the ipc_kludge declaration.
