Anybody know how to debug things like this?

I found another case that doesn't work with early drop root:  opening the 
first 2 SHM slots.

I'll add an option to use early drop root and push what I have.

--------

When it gets to the top of the list, we should cleanup the SHM handshake.  If 
we make the handshake use 2 counters rather than a ready flag, the read side 
can be read-only and this sort of problem will go away.  That lets us have 
multiple users so we can run debugging/monitoring code in parallel with ntpd. 
 That will either take a command line switch to gpsd or it will have to setup 
duplicate SHM slots (with different names).
