You should file a bug report; the temp files places.sqlite.shm and
places.sqlite.wal should be closed and removed when SeaMonkey shuts
down. So you've most likely found a bug. See:
<https://www.sqlite.org/tempfiles.html>
2.2 Write-Ahead Log (WAL) Files
...
"The WAL file is created when the first connection to the database is
opened and is normally removed when the last connection to the database
closes. However, if the last connection does not shutdown cleanly, the
WAL file will remain in the filesystem and will be automatically cleaned
up the next time the database is opened."
2.3 Shared-Memory Files
...
" The shared-memory file has the same lifetime as its associated WAL
file. The shared-memory file is created when the WAL file is created and
is deleted when the WAL file is deleted. During WAL file recovery, the
shared memory file is recreated from scratch based on the contents of
the WAL file being recovered. "
Follow-up: looks like someone already opened a bug report & it got the
wishy-washy "RESOLVED WORKSFORME" (aka 'Don't Know, Don't Care) treatment:
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=686237>
(places.sqlite-wal and places.sqlite-shm not removed on exit)
I reckon it's worth reopening (notice comment #2)...
I added my comments to
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=686237 and referred this
newsgroup thread. Maybe we need to make a new bug report instead since I
could reproduce this left over temp files in Firefox v34 and SeaMonkey
v2.31 in both Mac OS X 10.8.5 and Debian (stable)/Linux? Windows XP Pro
SP3 didn't show these left overs in SM. I didn't try Firefox in Windows
since I don't use it.
Also, I did not see any stuck SM and Firefox processes when I saw these
left over files.
