    Problem Text




    The following failure is a result of TSD4C.00212 in which the ipcrm
    tests cases fail due to incorrect privileges for ipcs execution.
    The ipcrm test cases create message queues but due to the failure
    condition the message queues are retained as no root privilage
    condition exists to perform the removal of the queues.

    If the system is not rebooted, additional full runs of VSC, the ipcrm test
    cases that were previously created but not removed will fail.
    This points to the ipcrm test cases not attempting to clean up the queues
    prior to a test case being executed. The solution is to always remove the
    queues during the create phase. A code solution follows:

    $ diff ipcrm.sh.orig ipcrm.sh
    184c184,185
    <
    ---
    > /* Clean up before creating */
    > ExecWithPriv ALLPRV ipcrm -Q $1 > /dev/null 2> /dev/null
    224c225,226
    <

    > /* Clean up before creating */
