I follow very closely to the examples on the ""Quick Guide for the Impatient"" page. However, when I run the binary on some 64 bit machines (Linux), it intermittently fails to open a previously existing shared memory object, throwing an exception that claims ""Value too large for specified format."" I debugged it in gdb, and found that the ::fstat command in function get_file_size in boost/interpocess/detail/os_file_functions.hpp was getting an error, with the specified error string. I have the strong suspicion that it is a matter of a 64 bit machine misinterpreting the input parameter from a 32 bit call. I am running on a SUSE 9 based Linux distribution in x86_64 mode in a 2.6.X kernel." Bugs closed Boost 1.39.0 interprocess Boost 1.38.0 Problem wontfix
