A desktop system seems to work. I wrote the above in 2.0.x days (circa 1998) and it was based on FUD rather than on any real evidence of any breakage. Apache and PostgreSQL were a couple of known users of shared memory segments, and these did not break. I was not aware of any programs that presumably did break. Of course, those probably do exist, but I don't recall anyone ever reporting any to me (as maintainer of -ow patches), although the warning quoted above might have played a role in such non-reporting.
