What is happening here is that we are looping infinitely in
mktempshmem() because shm_open() returns -1 with errno ENOSYS,
and there's no code in the loop that stops the loop on anything
except shm_open succeeding, or even prints anything out about
shm_open failing.

I think this is failing for me because my system's chroot doesn't have
/dev/shm mounted. It would be nice if we could at a minimum handle
this reasonably gracefully...
