Hello Ion,
Title says it all really: the attached mini-program gives me a segmentation fault on ubuntu linux 8.04 with gcc 4.2.3 when trying to read back the shared memory between process invocations (trying a similar program on XP also fails).
The problem is that you are trying to put a type (std::string) that is not ready for shared memory or memory mapped files because: 1) it surely uses internal raw pointers 2) allocates memory from the heap instead of from the shared memory That's why Interprocess offers its own containers. See documentation about those containers and also try to see some tests where interprocess basic_string is being used. That will give you some clues on how to use strings in shared memory.

Thanks. Solved in trunk. Regards, Ion
