Personally, I have this extreme distaste for sysv shared memory. It is a very scarce resource that is not freed automatically, and seems to go completely against the unix model. Reminds me of having to free memory on the Amiga, and slowly running out of chip RAM. In any case, one major offender is imlib. Since I've recently gone Gnome, I've had to turn off imlib's "MIT-SHM shared memory" option or things would go bad after a few minutes or hours of use. -- Christopher Masto Senior Network Monkey NetMonger Communications chris@netmonger.net info@netmonger.net http://www.netmonger.net Free yourself, free your machine, free the daemon -- http://www.freebsd.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
