The documentation states two modes for shmop_open(). "a" and "c". While "c" is usefull for creation (and access), "a" is programmed incorrect and misdocumented (for access and other uses).

Currently "a" is inserting the IPC_EXCL flag for (system) shmget(). This is completly useless, as IPC_EXCL is only operative when IPC_CREAT is set (which isn't).
Further "a" inserts SHM_RDONLY for (system) shmat(). This makes an read-only attach instead of a read-write, which does not need any flags.

Proposal:
To let the "a" do what it is intended for remove line 117 and 118 from shmop.c.

Furthermore the documentation could be more precise: "a" does never create a shm segment, while "c" maybe creates one.

Other usefull changes to the code in this respect would brake the interface (as it is _used_ now...).
