SYSV message queues

Hi,
        We seem to be having some difficulty with using the system v
   message queues. If I close them correctly using
   msgctl(msgid,IPC_RMID, 0);, then everything is OK. But, if the
program is exited abnormally, ^C, then I lose 1 message queue from the
total number allocated by the kernel, msg-mni. If I use ipcs to find out
the queue id to remove it, it doesn't show up in the table. Eventually I
completely run out of available queues and must reboot.

Any ideas?
