1)	The programs should remove the shared memory segment when they
	exit.  This is not a resource tracked by _exit (for obvious
	reasons: if process A and process B and process C share a
	segment, and C exits, you don't want to screw A & B).

2)	If you can't fix the software to use the interfaces in the
	way they are documented as being required to be used, then
	you should:

	man ipcrm
