I based my listen program on the fclisten.c posted by Kaigai Kohei
with my own modification. Unfortunately i lost my test machine in the
lab. I will recreate the listen program Monday. The original listener
did not validate sequence number. It also prints length of data and
sequence number of every message it receives. My listener prints
only out-of-sequence error messages.

The fork generator fork-test.c was yours? I called it fork-test
and let it run continuously in while-loop:

# while 1
# ./fork-test 10000000
# sleep 1
# end

I let it do 10,000,000 times of fork continuously while the system
is running AIM7 and/or ubench.

The original fclisten.c and fork-test.c are attached for your reference.
