So, what is the problem? TenDRA warns something? I rebuild TenDRA without any your debian patches, but the result of my build is not related any semid_ds issue. Repeatedly, some architecture defined it as unsigned long. sizeof(unsigned long) > sizeof(unsigned short). If we change it to unsigned short, then the data may be lost.
