Max messages in Message Queue

[Samuel Bitton]

Also note that the message creation failure ends up crashing my
application and RTEMS returns a PANIC ERROR 6.

It cannot be too many queues as I can create the queue ok with 100
messages in it.
Note that I get the error when I call create with 500 messages.
Also note that I don't think it is a memory issue as for 100 messages
the message size is set to 33 bytes and for the 500 messages case, I set
the message size to 5 bytes only. So in theory this would require as
much memory (unless RTEMS uses a lot of overhead on a per message
bases).

So to me there is a limiting factor for the number of messages per
queue?

You didn't add memory for the additional messages but
RTEMS_TOO_MANY indicates that there are either too
many queues (returned from create) or too many messages
in the queue -- full (returned from send).

Maybe something didn't get recompiled.
