I have ashmem properly configured and it works when the FS is mounted
via NFS.  However as pointed out previously that seemed to be causing
other issues so I moved the FS into JFFS2.  That too had it's issues
(where mmap was failing under certain conditions) that Adrian and Anil
pointed out were due to JFFS2.  So I moved it to YAFFS2.  Now I'm
seeing this "ashmem" issue.  Up to this point, ashmem has worked fine
so I don't believe it's really the culprit.  I feel like it has to do
with permissions or the filesystem.  One difference is that the
emulator uses three different yaffs2 partitions (userdata, system, and
cache) while I currently have all of these on a single partition.

Any other ideas as to what might cause the ...
