Package: base
Severity: normal
Installed MolecModeling package GAMESS which uses SHMEM(2) for transmitting
data between
concurrent processes (master/slave). When the slave process crashes (SIGILL
error),
neither it nor the master (which then exits gracefully) decrements the
"shm_nattch"
variable in "shmid_ds". (See "man 2 shmat" - "Upon _exit(2)...".)
Restarting the machine does not clear the shmem table entry (entries); neither
does a
complete power-off / reboot sequence.
Subsequent to reboot, the command "ipcs -a" shows the still extant(?) shared
memory segments.
The command "ipcrm -m <shmid>" appears to function correctly, but a subsequent
execution of
"ipcs -a" still shows the shmem segment in the kernel table.
The function "shmdt" is useless, because it does not know the "attach address"
of the
shared memory segment from the earlier SHMAT operations.
