    Subject: shmcreate

    After spending a long night trying to understand why shmcreate didn't work,
    I found that the shmget (create) call was missing the IPC_SHMPHYS flag!
    The program could never have worked as coded.  Why was the program never
    tested before being distributed?  I don't know.

    Do the following to patch shmcreate so the call is done correctly.

	patch shmcreate -b +-831 noerror

    Patch should return 0xa.  This is the high-order byte of the flag 05000.
    Replace that value with the high-order byte of 045000 (74/0x4a) by
    installing the following patch:

	patch shmcreate -b +-831 noerror 74

    Shmcreate should now work.
