hmm... I have that file and still don't have /dev/shm. 

Trying to find the reason myself, I found the real reason that I don't 
have /dev/shm:

 % domount tmpfs shmfs /dev/shm tmpfs -onosuid,nodev
 Files under mount point '/dev/shm' will be hidden. (warning).

Why is that? How can I let the script not hide files under /dev/shm?
(I tried to search the string "Files under mount point '/dev/shm' will be 
hidden", but didn't get much good hits.)

Thanks
