Hello,
In a recent posting Linus Torvalds mentioned (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=97598683318724&w=2) :

I was thinking about using mmap for shared mememory in my program, but now I am reconsidering. Is the System V or Posix mechanism for shared memory a better(it will be supported in 2.4) choice?
