I trace the problem to kernel 2.4 -- I think.
Appropriate section from kernel source
documention is below.
If anyone outthere is planning to upgrade linux kernel
to 2.4 you might want to keep this in mind.
It looks like all is well now... what a relief.
--------------------------
You can find documentation about IPC with "info ipc" and also in
section 6.4 of the Linux Programmer's Guide, available from
http://www.linuxdoc.org/docs.html#guide .
Shared memory is now implemented using a new (minimal) virtual file
system. To mount it automatically at system startup just add the
following line to your /etc/fstab:
none /dev/shm shm defaults 0 0
Saying Y here enlarges your kernel by about 18 KB. Just say Y.
