I know qnx is message passing (one of the few to ever get any decent
performance out of that, and it took a lot of work to get it).  I had
forgotten it was microkernel based (which being message passing it can
actually get away with).

QNX is a rather neat one I must admit.  Too bad when we looked at
it at work, their posix interface and tools are so far from usable
with normal open source code that it was simply not worth looking at.

We stuck with linux (with the xenomai extensions for real time support).
