TeXLive-2007-Windows has two Kpathsea's: Fabrice's and of W32TeX.
Kpathsea of W32TeX does not use shared memory. Most programs use
Kpathsea of W32TeX. mktex*.exe, kpsecheck.exe etc. use Fabrice's.
Therefore I removed the first item as follows:
Thanks,

-\item[\KPS{}] The hash-tables that \KPS{} builds are quite large for
- the \TL{}. In order to cut down the starting time of any
- \KPS{}-enabled program, these hash-tables have been put in shared
- memory. This way, when you chain the execution of several such
- programs, like \path|tex| calling \path|mpost| calling \path|tex|,
- the overhead when starting each of the subprograms is
- reduced. This change is hidden to the user, except if you set the
- debug flag of kpathsea to the \path|-1| value: you will then trace
- access to the shared memory, which is not what you want (it is
- accessed very often!). What is useful in a log trace of the shared
- memory access is still to be defined, so the situation might evolve
- in the future.
\item[\cmdname{kpsecheck}] This command provides some options that did
not fit well into \cmdname{kpsewhich}. It will allow you to list all
the files that occur multiple times across your texmf trees. This
