  Well, they are lost.

  It is my opinion that properly designed applications do not use any of
these queues for storage of any kind. That is, the required entries on
the queues must be able to be regenerated by some type of application
recovery process. And if backups are done at times when the application
is properly quiesced then these queues should be empty.

  That is in a DB File, name escapes me at the moment, so it's covered.
