Agreed.  Or, if you do, it's doing something entirely different and should
be in an interface where you're explicitly attaching it generically to the
file (what's being shared) without regard to any individual process.  But,
as you mentioned, shared, executable mappings are well outside the normal
case and there is no reason to think that a first (or fourth) version of
anything needs to support them at all.


Thanks,
Roland
