The user space is the right answer.   I can update it when the 
underlying table changes, and the service program will see the new data 
(I think).  That throws some interesting quirks into the mix, but I'll 
deal with that later.  I'll probably define the array in the programs as 
some reasonable maximum and then use the first portion of the user space 
to identify the actual number of entries and perform a %subarr on the 
based in the program when I do my lookup.
