scsynth: shared memory access prevented, crashes server.

bug comp: scsynth

starting with 40a65392eea6b652c0f798fee970783d6cb20b1b, I get a ``` Cannot c…onnect to shared memory: Cannot connect to shared memory ERROR: Primitive '_ServerShmInterface_connectSharedMem' failed. Failed. ``` when booting any server e.g. via `s.boot`. Since the hanging process reportedly chokes ScIDE if localhost is spawned, a good method is to either run a server from the commandline, or to do ``` g = Server(\ext, NetAddr("192.168.23.3", 57112); g.boot; ``` where you need to replace `"192.168.23.3"` with the IP your computer is known by on the net. the previous commit bb844145697de2aa90aaf05d093fbddffd6630b1 works. I'm on OSX.

I found something related

and here (2016): Re: [sc-dev] c39844: server: Assume requested SR was successfully set

any help much appreciated
