Salut Samuel, The real problem is that the protypes of msgsnd() and msgrcv() on this page are incorrect (out of date). The msgp argument should be typed as "void *", and the msgbuf structure should be more clearly marked to indicate that it is a just template for the kind of object that msgp might point to. I have made changes along these lines, as well as various other fixes, and these will appear in upstream man-pages 2.23. Thanks for your report.
