Worked a treat.
I've created a new spin lock. Should I send along a patch, or instead try to
use the existing ShmemLock?
(Note that, since ShmemAlloc locks/releases ShmemLock, ShmemInitStruct would
have to in some way indicate to ShmemAlloc that it was already holding...
which I can't imagine anyone is too keen on).
Cheers,
Claudio
