mq_open was tentatively introduced in #1870 for IDL_IDLBridge (see #1857) . The new version (#1879) will be better. probably the one you use does not close properly the message queues, or the system-wide limit in /proc/sys/fs/mqueue/queues_max is too small. At the moment, if GDL hangs, the eventual opened message queues are not rproperly closed.
Message queues are files in in /dev/mqueue/ and this directory can be emptied manually if necessary.
(same for stale POSIX shared memory files in /dev/shm)
The new version should create the server message queue only if IDL_IDLBridge is used.

#1879 is now merged, please test with it.
