hm, there was one file called ATISHM00, owned by me.  The directory is
writable by everyone:

$ ls -al /dev/shm/
total 16
drwxrwxrwt  2 root root       60 2007-07-18 08:33 .
drwxr-xr-x 16 root root    14200 2007-07-18 08:22 ..
-rw-rw-rw-  1 iain users 1048576 2007-07-18 08:33 ATISHM00

just to make sure I deleted the file and remounted the directory, but I
still get the errors...

any more ideas?  thanks,
