Thanks for your quick reply, Ion. Yes, we are interested in both
xsi_shared_memory and managed_xsi_shared_memory. I am also willing to help
with the development if that would be helpful. Could you give me an idea of
when a patch could be available for both of these so that I can decide
whether we need to develop a workaround?
Thanks again.
