nop.
the problem is that S blocks when doing the call to F with no reason. 
But when i removed the call from C1 to S (that is blocked waiting the 
IPC response from S), S did the F IPC with no problem... So it is S that 
is blocked when doing the ipc_send call to F, not waiting for the 
answer, because the request never arrives to the F server.
