Well, looking at MM, it decides to use IPCSHM on my linux box.  I was unable
to make my machine work when using MAP_ANON.  I also looked at what we
did for Apache-1.3.  We used SHMGET for Linux on 1.3.

This makes me think we should be using SHMGET on linux.  I just did what I 
needed to, to get Linux up and running again.  If you can make MAP_ANON
work, great.  Otherwise, for right now, we have a working server.  :-)
