That explains the errors when running xchat, but that doesnt explain
Netscape ;)
The annoying thing about this is that if a program decides to die because
of this error, it seems I've got a 50/50 chance that it's taken out for
good. I have to reboot to reclaim memory >:(
It'd be nice if we had a utility that could clean out and reclaim the
shared memory in 1 swoop. Then we'd be able to shut down XFree86 (and
obviously any other apps using shared memory), and get on with life :)
(anyone listening?)
