Just a clarification. There are actually two bugs that could cause
problems for you. The first is a bug in only the usysv RPI on any G5
machine (regardless of OS), that has been fixed in any of the recent
LAM 7.1.2 betas. The second is a bug in 10.4 itself dealing with
System V semaphores. This is *only* a bug for 64 bit applications.
If you are compiling in 32 bit mode, the problem you are running into
is probably the one we fixed in the beta relating to the usysv RPI.
