I'll try to reproduce this issue. But the weird thing is certainly
this: The affected shared mem regions are apparently not the cygheap.
Rather, they are the "shared" and "cygpid" shared mem regions, which
should not at all collide with the cygheap. I guess we need more
debug output in the api_fatal call inside open_shared...
