shm_mq_detach_internal() does SetLatch(&victim->procLatch) ("victim"
being the counterparty process) after setting mq_detached.  So ideally
no one should ever be able to wait forever on a queue from which the
other end has detached, but perhaps there is some race condition style
bug lurking in here.  I'm going to do some testing and see if I can
break this...

Yeah stack traces would be great, if you can.
