Would somebody humor me, and try it without the MPOL_F_SHARED games? The whole reference counting in the presense of setting and clearing that bit looks totally crazy. I really cannot see how it could ever work.
I realize that it avoids a copy, but I really don't see how the refcounting is supposed to work for it..
