That code was good enough to start with user mode

but till now it has prevented us from testing real system components
like the SM, CSR and friends etc. for compatibility in ROS.
Unforunately, most of our LPC-dependent components are really broken
because they depend on the not-so-correct LPC implementation.
It probably may be fixed easily by peeking up messages from the named
port's queue and not from the connected post's queue. That is the major
difference.
Also checking with some PDFs, some of our checks are
incorrect, and a
lot of our stuff is just hard-coded. It took me a day to figure out
where the max data/message sizes come from, but I think it was worth
it, because that was just a small step in understanding the bigger
picture.
Where do they come from? It is still a mistery for me!
Anytime, just send it to my personal e-mail and we can
collaborate.
Done.
