Thanks!

I don't have the /dev/shm lines in my fstab, but I do have shm in my
/proc/filesystems:

nodev	rootfs
nodev	bdev
nodev	proc
nodev	sockfs
nodev	tmpfs
nodev	shm
nodev	pipefs
	ext3
	ext2
nodev	ramfs
	umsdos
	msdos
	vfat
	iso9660
nodev	nfs
	reiserfs
nodev	devpts
	ufs
nodev	usbdevfs
nodev	usbfs

Not sure how to read this, but if it says "nodev", doesn't that mean
it's *not* supported by the current kernel?  So, I guess I don't have
it turned on.  Is this bad?  :-\
