A better way might be to place the shared memory segments last if that's possible (I'm not sure ELF supports out-of-order segments). > Because the shared memory attached to processes is common in them, we don't > need to dump the shared memory every time. So there's no guarantee that they'll be dumped at all... I'm not sure there's any way around that, however.
