 *
 * worker.c
 *		Code for sample worker making use of shared memory message queues.
 *		Our test worker simply reads messages from one message queue and
 *		writes them back out to another message queue.  In a real
 *		application, you'd presumably want the worker to do some more
 *		complex calculation rather than simply returning the input,
 *		but it should be possible to use much of the control logic just
 *		as presented here.
