I am curious if it is possible to use the operator new to allocate an object
class in shared memory. I tried most (if not all) combinations like:

    po = ::new(sizeof(printobj),pfGetSharedArena()) printobj();
    po = new(sizeof(printobj),pfGetSharedArena()) printobj();
    po = new(pfGetSharedArena()) printobj();

These were just some simple test cases, I have much more complicated classes
in mind. What seems to work is this:

  po = (printobj *)pfMalloc(sizeof(printobj),pfGetSharedArena());

But then I need a fake constructor to call after allocation.
