Hi,

May I suggest that watiHolder and waitLock pointers
in the proc struct in proc.h be changed from direct
pointers to SHMEM_OFFSET.  They are both shared memory
structures in a shared memory structure and it would
be more consistent to make these SHMEM_OFFSET.  Direct
pointers will be a problem if another process which is
not the result of a fork tries to attach to the shared memory.
The Direct pointers will not be valid for in this case.


Thanks,

Myron Scott
