However, MAP_SHARED doesn't work for PROT_WRITE | PROT_READ sections.

However, as many people have pointed out to me in private mail, these
things too are in the works....

I think that I was too subtle in my original post. It took obscure
parts of an obscure feature to be listed as what Linux "lacks." which
is an impressive accompolishment for all the people involved with
Linux.
