I would find it extremely useful to have this working, because in the academic environment that I work in (my other job) some instructors are insistent on teaching the students programming techniques they are bound to encounter in the real world. As you have likely guessed by now, this includes SysV-style IPC. In short: is the shared memory code going to be fixed for NetBSD/i386?
