It is in the beginning of this thread, before it changed name. Search for the subject containing "Virtual memory question" from around January 11th. The original subject lives on in brackets.

And we'll probably remove it from RELENG_5 if we ever use it. Matt's stuff is relatively easy to backport. We wont be backporting the shm_open() API stuff ourselves.
