This is not specific to 2.0.7pre1. This is actually a known
problem with gcc strcture passing conventions and IRIX 6.5.x.

Either compile with the SGI compiler or change includes/config.h
to use MMAP rather than SYSV shared memory and it should work fine.

Bug Herb if you want the full details on this (I'm emailing from
my crappy laptop on the road at the moment :-).
