Hello there,
I noticed fink's GIMP package uses --no-shm --no-xshm because it's
broken. This is a call for help if anyone's interested/has some idle
cycles.

I don't think your shm will ever work well on OS X. I assume you are using sys v shared memory - OS X by default has a very small sysv shared memory allocation, which you are likely to hit quickly. <looks at the source> It looks like you are using SysV shm with shmat(). I think POSIX shm works better on OS X, and definitely mmap works fine. POSIX shm is more standard than sysv shm anyway, so you should probably switch.
