Linux 2.x users should consider defining <code>Rules LINUX_TWEAK=yes</code>
in the <code>Configuration</code> file which will cause the server to
use shared memory instead of a scoreboard file.  This is known to cause

enabled it by default.  (Patches to conditionally determine the ability
to set this option are quite welcome.)<p>

<code>EXTRA_CFLAGS</code> in your <code>Configuration</code>.  This
is believed to work, but we were unable to test it in time for 1.2
release.<p>
