Mmm, thanks for the good information (both you and Sean!)  -- yeah I
think I may be wrong on shm_open().  I was reading through the shm_*()
functions last night in my copy of Advanced Linux Programming from
CodeSourcery (love this book) -- I gotta go through it again and find
the function I mean.  After Sean's post I did go look at
open_memstream() but yeah Mac OS X doesn't support this [yet].  I
really love CreateFileMapping() on Windows because even though you
have to give it a page to share it allows you to enforce the buffer
size within that page (it seems).  Anyway, all a side-project :-)  You
can tell I'm not a fan of strict/static typing since I love to "duck"
through interfaces, haha
