I guess my next question is how closely that Apache library emulates the SysV shmem semantics. In particular, can you reliably tell how many processes are attached to a shmem block? (Cf SharedMemoryIsInUse() in storage/ipc/ipc.c) Without that feature we have an interlock problem. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
