Re: apache 1.2 and Linux

[Dean Gaudet <dg...@arctic.org>]

I just added it to the FAQ ... his email addr isn't below, but if you want
to point him to <http://www.apache.org/docs/misc/FAQ.html#linux-shmget> it
has the answer.  This is covered in a few PRs too.  And here's a patch
which makes it give a more verbose error.
