[Tuxnes-devel] ipc shm cruft + linux

[<tux...@fa...>]

this is on a linux system running 2.2.19pre6.  tuxnes revision is the
cvs'd version as of about a week ago.

when I ctrl-c to kill tuxnes (for whatever reason.. im lazy, the window
with it running was in front of me on the desktop in front of me on the
head in front of me, etc.)

anyways, it leaves behind some cruft:

$ ipcs -m

------ Shared Memory Segments --------
key       shmid     owner     perms     bytes     nattch    status
0x00000000 2176      krt       777       983040    0

the normal running process has a nattch value of 2:
$ ipcs -m

------ Shared Memory Segments --------
key       shmid     owner     perms     bytes     nattch    status
0x00000000 2176      krt       777       983040    0
0x00000000 2177      krt       777       983040    2

if I use escape on the active tuxnes window (the proper kill method?) the
shm block goes away:
$ ipcs -m

------ Shared Memory Segments --------
key       shmid     owner     perms     bytes     nattch    status
0x00000000 2176      krt       777       983040    0

I can use ipcrm shm <ID> to rm this, but a friend pointed out that the
ctrl-c handling code should be able to clean up this before it exits the
program.

I'd go in and hack it myself, but im potentially dangerous in the .c arena
at this time.

Is this a known problem?  It doesnt seem to be in any files that I could
see.

And, just in case anyone else hasnt said it.. keep up the great work! I
love this program!

(and am now trying to help by submitting my bug report)
