Shared memory permissions, in 0.7.3 release.

Hi,

In 0.7.3 release, what the meaning of "shared memory permissions", that are now supported on systems where SysV IPC is used ? And how use it?

I'm not exactly sure, but I'm guessing it has to do with the following commits:

4e7f6a7
3b1a881

So in essence, it allows one to create memory segments with specific mode bits on POSIX systems. From what I can tell, it isn't something that is exhaustively used in the compiled frontend, but one may use it when working with the WhiteDB API or embedding WhiteDB.
