We've seen this with Linux, which didn't clean up our shared memory
arena & semaphores if the program doesn't exit cleanly. It's why we
ship the /usr/share/Performer/bin/rmsem script which cleans things up
(by brute force).
But this is definitely news for me that it's happening on IRIX. My
prior experience is that the cleanup "just happens" on IRIX. :-)
Did you do an IRIX upgrade at the same time as your Performer 2.5
upgrade? Which version of IRIX 6.5.x do you run?
