Hi Ian,

Thanks for pointing out this. In the future, Shmem is becoming 
Interprocess so I plan to use Boost.Date_Time instead of my own time 
functions.

That might suggest that your darwin version does not support process 
shared mutexes. I'm sorry I don't check that explicitly in my config 
headers (I'm lost in all those POSIX option checkings).

Maybe you need to update your c library (darwin uses glibc or similar?) 
to get both gettime and process shared mutexes. I will try to implement 
some basic tests for future bugfix Shmem versions.

Regards,

Ion
