Yes, if it works under Windows then obviously we need a fix in Wine.
I think you should investigate exactly how Windows does it, there are
many places where we could add such checks so we need to find out
exactly where Windows has them.

No, I want the code to work right with the current scheme before we
start adding shared memory, because it will create a lot of subtle
synchronization problems.
