If a process creates a shared memory segment using shmget() and exits without deleting it via shmctl(), the segment does not get deleted. Since this is a limited resource in the kernel, the system will run out of shm segments. It was not clear to me from the man pages whether this is the expected behavior or whether this is a kernel bug (i.e. shm segments should be deleted when the creating process exits). Any suggestions? thanks, - Jaspal To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
