Hi all:
I'm running a multi-threaded application on an SMP Gemini board
(2.2.18-pre11) which uses the mprotect call to lock pages between the
threads.  If I run the test program on this machine in SMP mode, it
fails (threads tromp on their shared memory locations).  If I run in
uni-processor mode however it works fine.  It also works fine on a dual
processor pentium using a similar version of the kernel.  The question
is... Has anyone seen this sort of behavior and are there any suggested
places to start looking to fix it?  I took a look at the gemini specific
files to see if there were any obvious missing eieio or sync
instructions and so far haven't seen any, but I don't have the
experience to know where else I should be looking.
	Gavin
