It is never say in DMAPI spec the dm_get_events() function could be used 
by different processes, using the same session id. They all will wait 
for events but:
Which process will be wake up ?
If two (or more) processes are waiting on dm_get_events(), a message 
arrive but the buffer is two small (E2BIG), what happens ?
etc...

The spec says absolutely nothing concerning this point.

Does a document describing the choices and differents between the spec 
and the sgi implementation exist ?
