Hi Ion,

I mananged to get something working on Linux by doing a try-catch block on 
an "open_only" shmem object. It works fine on normal program exit. However, as 
you probably know, if the program is killed or crashed there is a dangling 
reference since remove/shm_unlink is never called.

So I'm wondering:
1) is there any way around this behavior on a kill/crash?
2) is there a way to manually remove the shared memory besides rebooting? (i 
tried using ipcrm but it looks like it still thinks there are processes 
attached).

Thanks,
Daren
