Hello,

I tried to add to the list, but no confirmation yet, so i
guess my subscription failed. Please CC me too if you answer this message.

My problem is next:

shmptr =
    mmap(0,                        /* system assigns address */
         450000000,                /* size of shared memory segment */
         (PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE), /* access rights, can be rwx */
         (MAP_ANON | MAP_SHARED),  /* anonymous, shared */
         0,                        /* file descriptor (not used) */
         0);                       /* file offset (not used) */

I get error: 
: Invalid argument.

MAP_ANON|MAP_SHARED is not supported by that kernel 2.0.something that is
in redhat 5.1

I wonder whether new kernels > 2.2.x support this 
MMAP option, because i can allocate 2 times more memory then than i do
now, and don't need to swap that whole file into memory then.

Note that the shmget function doesn't work either for me. 

This function supports maximum of 4 megabytes shared memory, 
which is around 100 times less than i need. 

Greetings,
Vincent Diepeveen.
