I know that will mess with my muscle memory and I don't see the point. Especially as long as it is named ipc and not sysvipc. A half cleanup really looks worse than a real cleanup. SysV IPC really is a side car on the kernel and on unix in general and having the directory structure reflect that seems completely sensible. Eric
