Actually, I'm interested in this also. I have an application I wrote with fpc v1 a few years ago (quite a few now) that has run flawlessly as a user under a linux 2.4 kernel since I wrote it. I was recently forced to upgrade the machine to a 2.6 kernel due to a hardware failure and as a hack had to make my app +s owned by root to get any of the shm stuff to work. Boot 2.4 and it works, 2.6 gets -EPERM.. I've not had a chance to test it further.
