As I write and debug, I often have to crash a running process which stalls. Of course, there is a problem with my code but that's all part of the learning process. The actual problem is that, after a few ctrl-c's, there isn't enough space to allocate the shared memory space required. A solution suggested in previous discussions in the freebsd mailing list is to increase the SHMMAX value in the kernel config, but I'd rather find a way to recuperate the space I've been wasting needlessly on crashed processes.
