[Mono-devel-list] How to disable "Shared memory sanity check failed" messages?

[Bernie Solomon]

Actually there is more to it (I think) than my fix. Linux puts the
handle daemon socket the "abstract namespace" whereas other
platforms put it in /tmp which will definitely be per-machine.
My fix makes the other files the daemon uses per-machine too -
in fact I wonder whether they shouldn't be in /tmp too - not
sure why ~/.wapi is used as a default? Can someone explain
this?

However I don't know really what "in the abstract namespace"
means (initial Google searches haven't found useful definitions
just references to its existence) and how that interacts
with NFS mounts, if at all. It does sounds per machine in itself
so maybe that is enough to keep things separate and maybe these
problems were indeed left over scratch files. I don't have access
to a network with multiple Linux machines to tests anything.

Where is this "abstract namespace" actually defined?

Thanks

Bernie
