Hello an other time,

Ok i perhaps find a solution or a beginning of solution:

the getpagesize() function return a value of 4096 for the page size and
it seems that shmat need the address to be aligned on a multiple of
SHMLBA (655539), if instead of using getpagesize value to round the size
i use the value of SHMLBA i can run the test program without any
problem.

the thing is that this doesn't append under linux. In fact under linux
SHMLBA=getpagesize=4096 so the program run perfectly without any
problem.

Perhaps the cygwin release of getpagesize should output also SHMLBA ?
