Many thanks for supporting some modest bug fixes to shmem as we have found 
it very useful but can't 'switch horses' mid-stream to inter-process just 
yet.

I looked in the Boost sandbox CVS at /boost-sandbox/libs/shmem but didn't 
see any of the main shmem files there. Is there somewhere else I should look 
for shmem CVS?

Do you plan to incorporate the changes noted by my colleague Steven Wooding 
as part of shmem 0.94?

Thanks
