    Under which circumstances would a shared memory segment created with the IPC_PRIVATE key (-1) receive a key value of 0 instead of -1.
    Since this problem is not occurring on my own system I don't know whether this already happens after the shmget call or sometime later in the life cycle of the segment.
    The segment is access by several processes, via shmat, shmctl or shmdt are not used.

    I hope somebody can enlighten me
    Thanks in advance
