Seems you should use an array of "struct bkend" or "Backend" as storage in shared memory. I think the problem with Dllist is that it is dynamically allocated and I don't see how that could be done cleanly in shared memory. I think that's why the array idea seems best. > Also, let's get back to why we want this: to handle processCancelRequest in > the Win32 case.
