Could you possibly try with -25 (in experimental).  I fixed a bug with
/run/shm handling last night, though it was related to size
determination rather than chroot handling it's not impossible that it's
related.

WRT the patch, if ischroot is behaving incorrectly, then the ischroot
utility needs updating.  Working around this in an individual package
is incorrect, unless there's a non-obvious reason I missed in this
specific case.

Given that /run/shm should be handled identically to /run, and
/run/lock, I think it's more important to work out why it's
behaving differently than the other two.  I assume that the other
two are not being mounted?


Thanks,
Roger
