Hmm. So the segment gets destroyed, even though it's attached. Bug in
the SGI xlib? Or is XFree86 just more forgiving?
IPC_RMID is used to mark the segment as destroyed. It
will actually be destroyed after the last
detach. (I.e., when the shm_nattch member of
the associated structure shmid_ds is zero.)
The user must be the owner, creator, or the
super-user.
Anyhow. We're alrteady calling IPC_RMID when we close down cleanly, so
the one here is largely redundant. The question is what happens on an
unclean shutdown. Can you see if the shm segments are still attached if
you ctrl-c or otherwise kill freesci?
