Indeed, that really comes closer to that.

Generally this warning is printed when trying to pass a capability (or
memory) around but the source is empty. This is typically a programming
error. Secondly I think the warning does not come from the get_cap call.
That call just gets the cap from the environment where the program
startup has already stored it. "shmds" must be a cap that has been
specified in the "caps" table of your program in the lua script.

With flags == L4Re::Rm::Search_addr it should be fine (plus: you can
omit the last two parameters). 
Don't use the In_area, you need to alloc such an area beforehand!
Further, you need to add L4Re::Rm::Search_addr, otherwise attach will
try to put that memory at 0 (startAddr == 0) which is not good to do.
