We will henceforth panic in this unfortunate situation. Thanks for reporting the issue, i did not take into account that the compiled-in fallback could not be accessible, too. It will be in the v14.9.12 release by the end of February. Unfortunate because we should and could do better, maybe using an anonymous memory map or memfd_create() (no O_MEMFD, grrr) for at least the reader side .. if the file does not exceed some size limit. Or simply not detaching the mailbox at all, but only open(2)ing the file. --steffen | |Der Kragenbaer, The moon bear, |der holt sich munter he cheerfully and one by one |einen nach dem anderen runter wa.ks himself off |(By Robert Gernhardt)
