...with p1003 1.b semaphores... it looks like they were made exactly 
with that destination in mind:

"POSIX 1003.1b semaphores provide an efficient form of interprocess 
communication. Cooperating processes can use semaphores to 
synchronize access to resources, most commonly, shared memory."

can anyone explain the differences between them and pthread 
process shared sync? otherwise i'll study the whole issue in - as said - 
a couple of weeks from now, and eventually make a patch for kde

meanwhile, i'm writing to KSharedDataCache author
