I think he is creating his own shared memory area:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
What I'd like to have happen is for a total of one connection to the
database to be made, and have all these objects share that connection
transparently. I made this happen by using a shared memory segment to
store the connection pointer. Here's the diff. It doesn't seem to break
anything, but then again, my coverage is rather limited at this point.
