You have just turned the global system heap to a shared heap, which is
badly wrong. If anywhere, the issue is in create_new_heap(), or in the
_compat_shm_alloc() interface in userland, or a combination of both.

As Gilles told you already, such a 100% reproducible allocation/mapping
issue can not be a generic one, involving the core heap system,
otherwise no skin would ever work. We do depend on the system heap
internally, for almost everything in the system. It is much more likely
a local RTAI skin bug, because this code has bit rot over time, due to
lack of interest and users.

PS: Please keep the list CCed.
