Re: Sorry to be annoying, but "PATCH for shmdt"

[Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl]

        Unfortunately the patch I submitted for shmdt has been overlooked.
    It's not a very exciting patch, but it does bring the code into agreement
    with the manpage.  Here is an version of the patch updated for 2.4.16.

Yes, I agree. Referring to POSIX would have been more convincing,
but it is true that shmdt is supposed to return EINVAL when the
memory to be detached is not found.
