I did to check both bits/shm.h (glibc-2.2.3), bits/shm.h (glibc-2.2.4) and asm-mips/shmbuf.h
for calling shmctl();
There are any differences 'struct shmid_ds' between glibc-2.2.3 and 2.2.4 that I saw.
However, I do not think those diffs are caused this problem.
Because the 'shm_segsz` which a member of this will be allocated on same location even if the follows members
behind 'shm_segsz' are changed; i.e. it will have same value as 'shm_segsz' on both different structure.
Is this right?

I understood. It might to solve this problem as the most simple way.

Thank you for your advice.
