Yes, I tried it and depending on what I do in the receiving phase, some
times I miss messages:

-- when I try to print them directly on the screen
-- when I redirect the output on a file
(both operations time consuming that really delay the receiver operations)
Also in those cases, introducing delays, the problem seems to be solved..

May I set (as in UNIX SYSTEM V) , although I use SUN SOLARIS 5.8-SPARK, the
OS message queue lenght and the message size (in bytes) for the socket
communications?

The introduction of a sincronization mechanism made by a buffer queue
doesn't help in any way.
