  def __dealloc__(SharedMemoryBuffer self):
     print 'Calling __dealloc__ on buffer at %s' \
             % <unsigned long> self.mapped_address #DBG
     self.handle.dealloc()

Why do you do this? The Handle should self destruct. Anyway, this is 
evil and will possibly case multiprocessing to hang, as well as segfaults.
