Yes. The Spec for Shared memory allows it to use a file in the
filesystem. (This is covered in the insight publication "Topics in Irix
Programing" if you are interested in learning more) So when you fail to
call pfExit() or CAVEExit() you are going to scatter shared memory
fragments all over /usr/tmp/. This is all the same problem as your
semaphore one. Make sure you exit a performer application properly. Make
sure you exit a CAVE program properly (Even the OpenGL CAVELib will
exhibit the shared memory behavior)
Happy CAVEing.
