This should be tested well on Solaris 10, especially with -m values
approaching 1GB and -kernel-kqemu.  The Solaris version would use /tmp
rather than /dev/shm, but iirc there were problems when using
MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Also, on Linux, does anyone know what minimum kernel version is needed
to not need the /dev/shm hack?
