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.
