Title bars in sawmill suddenly turning black, GNOME pixmaps disappearing/getting corrupted, that sort of thing. > I'm not seeing any leaks, though: [...] > Shared Memory: > T ID KEY MODE OWNER GROUP SEGSZ CPID LPID > m 65536 2622055 --rw-r--r-- root wheel 1048576 298 298 > m 41615362 792064 --rw-rw-rw- ade staff 4 12549 12549 Funny, I even have the option turned off and I've still got: chris@lion-around:~$ ipcs -bpm Shared Memory: T ID KEY MODE OWNER GROUP SEGSZ CPID LPID m 65536 5432010 --rwa------ pgsql pgsql 120 204 204 m 65537 5432001 --rw------- pgsql pgsql 1063936 204 204 m 65538 5432007 --rw------- pgsql pgsql 96424 204 204 m 196611 0 --rw-r--r-- root wheel 4096 837 53838 m 131076 0 --rw-r--r-- root wheel 4096 837 55434 m 3211269 0 --rwarwarwa chris chris 1420800 41206 41206 m 1310726 0 --rw-r--r-- root wheel 4096 837 55429 m 1310727 0 --rwarwarwa chris chris 65536 934 837 m 131080 0 --rw-r--r-- root wheel 4096 837 926 m 131081 0 --rwarwarwa chris chris 65536 934 837 m 131082 0 --rwarwarwa chris chris 65536 934 837 m 196619 0 --rw-r--r-- root wheel 4096 837 934 Still, it's not just me.
