 #define MSGMNI    16   /* <= IPCMNI */     /* max # of msg queue identifiers */
-#define MSGMAX  8192   /* <= INT_MAX */   /* max size of message (bytes) */
-#define MSGMNB 16384   /* <= INT_MAX */   /* default max size of a message queue */
+#define MSGMAX  65536   /* <= INT_MAX */   /* max size of message (bytes) */
+#define MSGMNB 65536   /* <= INT_MAX */   /* default max size of a message queue */
