Yes. I had been working on this trying (unsucessfully) to get a working
backtrace when I ended up with a bunch of other things on my plate. We
now have a good backtrace.

The shmat errors were because there were a bunch of shared memory

been sent to the list about.
Sorry for the delay in tracking this down.
