* the length of shmid_ds has changed. It would be easy to fix that
problem: we continue to use the current structure, and lie about
segments longer than INT_MAX.
* the parameters for the kernel sysctl have changed (from "int" to
"size_t"). I don't know if we can do that without breaking binary
compatibility
I think we should undo the size_t changes, and merge them with the
32-bit uid patches from Chris. 32-bit uids need special wrapper
functions in glibc, and thus we could solve both problems together.
[btw, glibc also uses "int" instead of "size_t" in shmget(), but SUSv2
says "size_t".]
Any other ideas?
