Objects in shared memory

[mendell at ca.ibm.com]

Unfortunately, we don't provide this ability.  I think that there is a way to
get AIX to put
shared libraries at the same data/text offsets in each process, and that would
make it work,
but there is no general mechanism.

("Objects", in this context, meaning C++ objects of types that
have virtual functions or virtual base classes.  The vptr is what
makes this a hard problem.)
