All,

I'm calling mq_open() from separate processes on the same machine. I am givning unique queue names for each queue. 
However, mq_open() is returning the same queue descriptor number each time mq_open() is called. Any ideas?

Here is the call:
     struct mq_attr mq_attributes_;
    mq_attributes_.mq_maxmsg = 100;
    mq_attributes_.mq_msgsize = 8196;
mq_open( queue_name_, O_CREAT | O_EXCL | O_RDWR, S_IRUSR | S_IWGRP, &mq_attributes_)
