So, the problem seems pretty obvious: the unstable kernel has dropped
support for shmget, or has changed its interface in some incompatible

Correct, the taper process depends on shared memory: while one process
fills a shared circular buffer, the other writes data from the buffer
to tape.

amflush also uses taper.
