Hi,

I am new to cygwin and trying to port existng Linux
based implementation of shared memory on cygwin.

I am having issues with shmget call. I tried to debug
and found out that everytime I try to call shmget
function I get an error and the main thread exits:
Program exited with code 06000

I checked cygwin documentation and mailing lists:
I have ipc-daemon2 running
cygserver is also running with default options which
includes : 
XSI IPC Shared Memory support.

Would appreciate if someone could point out what is
the real issue.

Thanks...
Rahul

Here is a snippet of my code:

int main{)
{
        int     i;

         for (i=0; i<SHM_TAB_SZ; i++)
        {
                shm_tab[i].free=1;
        }

         shm_id = shmget(LOADGEN_SHM_KEY,
SHM_TAB_SZ*sizeof(SHM_DATA),
                        0777|IPC_CREAT);
         if (shm_id <0)
        {
                if (debug) printf("\nLGEN:shmget
failed...\n");
                perror("LGEN:shmget:");
        }

}
