main() {
         int *a = 
mmap(0,4096,PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,MAP_SHARED|MAP_ANONYMOUS,0,0);
         *a = 0;
         if(fork())
                 while(1) {      sleep(2); ++(*a); }
         else
                 while(1) {      printf("%d\n",*a);  sleep(2); }
}

The output of this program should be
0
1
2
3
.
.

but output would remain constant after migrating one of the processes.

openMosix shold not allow migrating processes sharing 
MAP_SHARED|MAP_ANONYMOUS pages.
