Hi,

I've been trying to get an application running which calls shmget -
despite running cygserver until now its always crashed with "Bad system
call". I stumbled upon the solution of copying the binary into /bin and
for some reason it works. Can anyone tell me what's special about /bin
that causes it to start working?
