+Summary: fatal error when shared memory is unsupported
+
+Description of Problem:
+When running Mono(mint) in a Linux environment not supporting shared 
+memory it raises a critical error, stating "mmap error: Invalid argument", 
+and exits. The error occurs at the mmap() call in mono/io-layer/shared.c 
+(line 202). I ran tests which all confirmed that the shared memory was the 
+problem - mmap() argument MAP_PRIVATE work (MAP_SHARED works too, but only 
+on /dev/zero). There are other occasions where instead of dying it falls 
+back on not using shared memory (mono/io-layer/handles.c, line 91) which 
+suggests that this error perhaps need not be fatal. I mentioned this to 
+Paolo Molaro who suggested I'd send this in as a bug report.
+
+
+Actual Results:
+~ $ mint mcs.exe
+** (mcs.exe:537): CRITICAL **: : mmap error: Invalid argument
