Thanks for your quick reply, Ion.  Yes, we are interested in both 
xsi_shared_memory and managed_xsi_shared_memory.  I am also willing to help 
with the development if that would be helpful.  Could you give me an idea of 
when a patch could be available for both of these so that I can decide 
whether we need to develop a workaround?

Thanks again.
