I'm not so sure. All processes will contain the code to unlock the shm area, and then all it takes is a jump to the wrong address. Also a bad pointer is not the only possible problem, for instance a thread getting stopped or killed while inside the shm lock will kill the whole session. -- Alexandre Julliard [EMAIL PROTECTED]
