Fixed (but still puzzled) -- see below.

Strange bug after changing the boot partition (the previous was on a

Ah!
mounting tmpfs on /dev/shm (manually or through fstab) fixes this.
I am somehow puzzled as I think I observe the test program working
without this mount on some kernel instances.
I must apologize that the old partition is re-formatted. (As an excuse
the other services on this server system work fine with the new partition.)
Anyway, the bogus code sequence is below. Should work fine everywhere,
modulo write permission on /dev/shm.
Same observation with privileged execution.
uname -a reports:
Linux hostname 4.1.3 #15 SMP Sun Aug 30 03:01:12 UTC 2015 x86_64
Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU G3250 @ 3.20GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
Obviously, any help appreciated.
