You are right, I am remembering an older version of the API (which I
still like better, obviously ;) ).  I also see the problems each choice
of API can cause.  I think the current API is the more reasonable
choice.  I have adjusted XPMEM to keep a copy of the mm_struct pointer
at register time with my own accompanying inc of mm_count and likewise
do the unregister and mmdrop();  This resolved my problem.

Sorry for the noise.

Andrew, could you throw this patch as away as quickly as possible.
Sorry for wasting your time.

Thanks,
Robin
