Hi,

I have built mpich2 in openSUSE BuildService. It required me to disable a configure test for shmget() -- it fails in OBS whereas it succeeds in a local abuild. Is this a known problem? By design? ... ?

Some time ago, like last year, I saw a number of failures in the testsuite of the apr library which also uses shared memory functions Those problems disappeared over time (presumably with later Xen versions). However, checking again, I see that a test called "testshm" still fails right now, in fact. Sounds like a similar problem. Peter -- "WARNING: This bug is visible to non-employees.
