Yes, you've got it. They remain loaded in memory even after the pp'd binary has exited and been cleaned up (cache removed). The result is that when the pp'd binary is called again (and again, and again), another copy get's loaded (and kept) in memory because it's in a different cache directory. The workaround is to run slibclean, but by changing the "other" bits, AIX doesn't bother trying to keep it in shared memory.
