That makes sense. Thanks!

The idea is to be able to run shmmon without stopping ntpd.
The other half of making the read side of SHM read only is that is cleans up

The trouble with any new SHM proposal is that the underlayer is not
POSIX and we theefore can't count on it continuing to exist.
We need that kind of funcrionality, but any new design should be dome
