In fact i wasn't using the SHM_RNd flag.

In details here is what i do:

- get a shared segment of with size= SIZE (SIZE multiple of SHMLBA)
- attach the segment without specifying address and storing the result
in beginaddress
- attach the segment again specifying the address: endposition=
beginaddress + SIZE

without SHM_RND in the second shmat i've got the error : invalid
argument

now that i specifie SHM_RND in the flag i have the error: value to large
for defined type ....

any idea ?

thanks

bertrand
