Of course *my* application never crashes ;-) ... but if it did
(hypothetically, that is) .... I would make sure that all the CPU's
were unrestricted, unisolated, etc (Check out the 'mpadmin' command),
kill off all the processes that Performer may have forked that might
still be running ('killall' is useful here) and finally, use 'ipcrm'
to free up shared memory areas, semaphores, etc (You can use 'ipcs'
to show which shared memory areas, etc are in use where).
...not that I ever need to do that of course... :-)
