Ion, Thank you so much for your willingness to help. I will be happy to help any way I can to test and debug the FreeBSD configuration if you can keep up the suggestions. I have to do this work as a sideline to some other major deliverables for the next couple weeks, so I apologize for the lag but will try be as responsive as I can.
Ok. I've just finished downloading 3CDs of FreeBSD but I can't tell you how much time I will need to install it in a virtual machine ;-)
I tried your suggestion and had these two results: boost_trunk: When I switched to trunk I ran into a linking problem that stopped me (on both OS-X GCC 4.0.1 and FreeBSD GCC 4.2.1 )
It's a bug, file_mapping::swap was not marked as inline. I've just solved it in trunk.
BOOST_INTERPROCESS_FORCE_GENERIC_EMULATION On FreeBSD with GCC 4.2.1: This option did change the behavior. It now throws BAD_ACCESS in atomic_cas32, instead of in the pthread mutex. The stack trace from gdb:
Uggh! No ideas of what might be. I'll need to install FreeBSD somewhere to test this. Thanks for the info, I'll try to bring you some good news in a few weeks.

Wow. That's super cool. I have backed off my implementation to another approach which can do without the interprocess stuff, but at a great performance cost. I can make progress on my work without interprocess for a few weeks. I am far from expert in either boost or FreeBSD, but if there is anything I can do to help please let me know.
