Someone is unwittingly attempting to create a message queue with capacity=0.

Feature request: Can assert() write a stack dump?
What is written at the moment is not as helpful as it could be:

Although we have UPSs everywhere, the shutdown was much longer than

I am investigating the issue.
But as I have people breathing down my neck, pointers are welcome.
