Emory, you'll definitely need to do some testing to make sure that  
these features work properly for your needs. I had some trouble  
trying to get some SysV IPC working on Mac OS X, and I had to modify  
the kernel defaults for my case. I eventually rewrote my code to use  
POSIX IPC. Just a word of warning.
