[ace-users] Mutex : frustration with file-based shmimplementation

Hi Paul,

So far as I remember the problem was time at that moment. We did try to fix
this but ended up with problems on AIX (and maybe other platforms), so we
had to revert the change again and documented it in bugzilla. At the moment
we get time we can fix this. The fastest way to get this resolved is or by
volunteering to make a patch that solves this on all platforms (including
AIX) or sponsor someone to do that for you.
