Subject: [PATCH] Avoid posix_fallocate() so it works on uClibc

It seems like the possix_fallocate() does not need to be provided on
all implementations (see "Application Usage" in
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/posix_fallocate.html )

I'm not too familiar with the code but it looks like _DConfEngine->shm
is a mmap to a file with 1 char size. If thats the case then something
like this would work:
